    The options to this question is incomplete, the correct options are:

    A) the citric acid cycle.

    B) oxidative phosphorylation.

    C) glycolysis.

    D) the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation

    The answer is D

    Explanation:

    Cellular respiration is an important metabolic process carried out by the cells of living organisms including human cells. Aerobic cellular respiration involves three main stages viz: Glycolysis, Kreb's cycle, and Oxidative phosphorylation. These three processes occur to bring about the breakdown of glucose to synthesize ATP.

    Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm while Kreb's cycle and Oxidative phosphorylation both occurs in the matrix and intracellular membrane of the Mitochondrion respectively. Hence, a drug that causes holes in both mitochondrial membranes will affect both Kreb's cycle and Oxidative phosphorylation.
