E. all of the above
The breakdown of organic carbon into simple inorganic forms occurs during the cellular respiration process. It involves breakdown of glucose that ultimately responsible for the production of metabolic energy in the form of ATP. Every living organisms performs cellular respiration both in the presence and absence of oxygen and known as aerobic or anaerobic cellular respiration respectively.
