Answer
A
photosynthesis
B
aerobic respiration
C
anaerobic respiration
D
cellular respiration

Explanation

Spirulina is an autotroph, meaning it can make its own food using light energy. It does this through photosynthesis, which human cells do not perform. Humans can carry out aerobic or anaerobic respiration, and cellular respiration releases energy from food.
