d. Aerobic respiration uses oxygen as a final electron acceptor, whereas anaerobic respiration uses an inorganic molecule other than oxygen as the final electron acceptor

Explanation:

One of the main difference between organic and organic compounds is that organic compounds have a carbon with at least one hydrogen bond. In anaerobic respiration the final electron acceptor are molecules such as sulfate (SO42-), nitrate (NO3-), or sulfur (S) depending on the organism.
