Answer: A.Carbon dioxide

Explanation: Cellular respiration is the process by which  glucose molecule breakdown into energy form (ATP) in presence of oxygen. As a result of this reaction ATP is formed and carbon dioxide is released.

Process of cellular respiration completed in following 4 steps :

Glycolysis, Pyruvate Oxidation, Citric acid (Krebs cycle), and Oxidative Phosphorylation.
