Given below are two statements:
Statement I: In both lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation, not much energy is released, and these processes are hazardous because either acid or alcohol is produced.
Statement II: During fermentation, one molecule of glucose is not fully oxidized and is converted into a 3 carbon or 4 -carbon compound.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

During fermentation, one molecule of glucose is not fully oxidized and is converted into a 3-carbon (lactic acid) or 2-carbon (ethanol) compound.
Glucose is incompletely oxidized: Lactic acid fermentation → Lactic acid (3C)
Alcoholic fermentation → Ethanol
