A)glucose → citric acid cycle → glycolysis → pyruvate oxidation → electron transport chain
B)glucose → pyruvate oxidation → glycolysis → electron transport chain → citric acid cycle
C)glucose → glycolysis → pyruvate oxidation → citric acid cycle → electron transport chain

The correct sequence for the complete oxidation of glucose in aerobic respiration is: glucose is first broken down into pyruvate through glycolysis, then pyruvate is oxidized to acetyl-CoA (pyruvate oxidation), which enters the citric acid cycle, and finally, the electrons transferred through carriers participate in the electron transport chain to produce ATP.
