Solution

The correct option is C activation energy + normal energy of reactants
Activation energy = (Threshold energy) - (Average energy of the reactants).
Activation energy is the minimum increase in potential energy of a system required for molecules to react.
and
Threshold energy is the minimum kinetic energy required to convert kinetic energy into activation energy during the formation of the activated complex.
