Answer:
(3) C-C is the correct answer.
Hope this answer helps you!
Explanation:
Aerobic Respiration. Anaerobic respiration and lactate fermentation break only a single carbon-carbon bond in the glucose molecule. As such, only a small amount of the energy present in a glucose molecule is released.

C-C bonds of glucose are broken down by oxidation during respiration (Option 3)
- Respiration refers to the process of breaking down complex organic molecules (i.e. respiratory substrates) into simpler substances in the presence of oxygen.
- Precisely, the carbon-carbon (C-C) bonds are broken during this biochemical reaction.
- C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy
- The energy that is released during this process is coupled with the synthesis of ATP.
