Answer:

C. sunlight and oxygen

Step-by-step explanation:

Cellular respiration is quite simply the conversion of chemical energy from oxygen into ATP in order to release waste by-products.

Oxygen is needed for this process to take place because it helps break down the necessary nutrients which will in turn generate ATP, and other processes.

Therefore, an organism needs oxygen and sunlight to undergo cellular respiration.
