To determine where aerobic cellular respiration occurs within a eukaryotic cell, we need to understand the organelles involved in this process. Aerobic cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria.
The mitochondria are double-membrane organelles found in eukaryotic cells. They are commonly referred to as the "powerhouses" of the cell because they are responsible for producing energy through aerobic cellular respiration. During this process, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to generate ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the main energy currency of the cell.
Therefore, the correct answer is A) mitochondria.
