Solution

The correct option is D Water and ATP
The metabolic process of releasing energy from food can be termed as oxidative phosphorylation. It occurs in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cell. In this process, the electrons are transported through different carriers ultimately to the oxygen molecule. these electrons reduce oxygen to form water and release energy which converts ADP to ATP.
