Solution

The correct option is C Respiration
Cellular respiration

Cellular respiration is the process of obtaining chemical energy from the breakdown of organic molecules that we consume through food.

The C-C bonds in the complex molecules undergo oxidation that breaks the bond between them and releases lots of energy which the cell traps in the form of ATPs.

Final answer
(B) Respiration
