Solution

The correct option is C exothermic
Respiration is an exothermic process. During respiration, glucose molecules are converted into a number of other molecules which in the end give CO2 and H2O. It is exothermic because the C=O and O-H bonds in the products are so much more stable than the bonds in the reactants.
