None of the above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -(d) False. All leaves of a green plant normally respire aerobically at night.
Detailed explanation-2: -Green plants respire aerobically (in presence of oxygen), where glucose is broken down to form carbon dioxide and water and the energy that is released is stored in the form of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate).
Detailed explanation-3: -Plant cells do not have mitochondria and therefore cannot respire using aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration occurs in the cytoplasm, therefore plants do experience anaerobic respiration.
Detailed explanation-4: -Solution. False. Anaerobic respiration in plants yields ethanol.
