Solution

The correct option is D Phosphate and phosphate
ATP has three phosphates out of which one is directly attached to the ribose with phosphate ester bond and it is low energy bond. The bond between two phosphate groups is a phosphoanhydride bond which is considered as high energy bond. So ATP has only two high energy bond.
So, the correct answer is option A.
