Solution

The correct option is B Respiration
  • Respiration is the movement of oxygen from the outside environment to the cells within tissues and the transport of carbon dioxide in the opposite direction.
  • During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.
  • The energy released during the reaction is captured by the energy-carrying molecule ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Hence, The energy releasing process in living organisms is respiration.
So, the correct answer is 'respiration'.
