Solution

The correct option is B Growth
The process by which complex food material is oxidised in cells to release their bond energy for utilisation in the body is known as respiration. Respiration is a catabolic process where stepwise degradation of organic foodstuff takes place. The energy released in this process is temporarily stored in the form of ATP and is utilised by the organism for the growth. Hence option A is the correct answer.
