Correct option (b) 38 molecules 

Explanation:

 During aerobic respiration, 38 ATP molecules are gained. If specifically aerobic respiration in eukaryote is asked, then the answer would be 36 ATP because 2 ATP molecules are produced by FADH2 which accepts the If from 2 NADH molecules produced in glycolysis.
