Solution

The correct option is A ATP
ATP is an Adenosine triphosphate (ribose sugar, adenine base, and three phosphate groups), where a high energy bond attaches the third phosphate group to the molecule. The highly unstable bonds break to release the inorganic phosphate to fulfill the energy required for the metabolism.
Hence, the correct answer is option B.
