The reactants in cellular respiration are **oxygen** and **sugar** (glucose). Therefore, the correct option from your list is **oxygen, sugar**.
Cellular respiration primarily occurs in three stages: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain, where glucose is broken down with the help of oxygen to produce energy in the form of ATP, along with water and carbon dioxide as byproducts.
