Cellular respiration is a series of metabolic reactions that take chemical energy in the form of biomolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, or proteins) and use it to make energy in the form of ATP, and is a process that requires oxygen.

A simplified version of the reacción s the following:


C_6H_(12)O_6+6O2\to6CO_2+6H_2O+heat

The reactants would be glucose and oxygen, so B would be the right answer.
