Solution

The correct option is D Cellular respiration
Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products. Cellular respiration breaks down food/glucose/sugar/complex carbohydrates and releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
So, the correct answer is 'Cellular respiration'.
