Solution

The correct option is B ATP
ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate. The energy released by oxidation of organic molecules is transferred into high energy phosphate bonds of ATP, which can be readily utilised when a cell needs energy. One of the three phosphates of ATP is broken down to release energy. Thus, ATP is the intermediate energy transferring compound.
So, the correct option is 'ATP'
