Answer:

The answer is C. Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, Electron transport.

Step-by-step explanation:

The breaking of the C−C bonds of complex compounds through oxidation within the cells, leading to the release of a considerable amount of energy is called respiration. Since this process occurs in the cell, it is called cellular respiration. It is a multistep process that starts with the breaking down of glucose to form a three-carbon pyruvate molecule. This stage is known as glycolysis. Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm.

Thus, the correct order of the stages in cellular respiration is:

Glycolysis - Oxidative decarboxylation - Krebs cycle - Electron transport chain - Oxidative phosphorylation.
