Solution
The correct option is C
In the process of respiration, glucose reacts with oxygen in the cells of our body to produce carbon dioxide and water. Large amounts of energy are released during this process. This chemical reaction can be represented by the following equation.
The reactions in which energy is released are known as exothermic reactions. Hence, respiration is an exothermic process.
