Crabtree effect is which type of process? Correct Answer Aerobic

The Crabtree effect describes the phenomenon whereby the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, produces ethanol (alcohol) in aerobic conditions and high external glucose concentrations rather than producing biomass via the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, the usual process occurring aerobically in most yeasts e.g. Kluyveromyces spp. Increasing concentrations of glucose accelerates glycolysis (the breakdown of glucose) which results in the production of appreciable amounts of ATP through substrate-level phosphorylation. This reduces the need of oxidative phosphorylation done by the TCA cycle via the electron transport chain and therefore decreases oxygen consumption.

Consider the following grammar (that admits a series of declarations, followed by expressions) and the associated syntax directed translation (SDT) actions, given as pseudo-code: P → D* E* D → int ID {record that ID.lexeme is of type int} D → bool ID { record that ID.lexeme is of type bool} E → E1 + E2 {check that E1.type = E2.type = int; set E.type := int} E → !E1 {check that E1.type = bool; set E.type := bool} E → ID {set E.type := int} With respect to the above grammar; which one of the following choices is correct?
