Solution

The correct option is C Fat
Respiration is the oxidation process in which reduced biomolecules like carbohydrates, fats, proteins, etc are oxidized to release energy, which can be used for cellular processes. Fats are the most reduced biomolecules and their oxidation releases the maximum amount of energy. The energy released in the oxidation of one gram of fat is twice the energy released in the oxidation of one gram of carbohydrate. Hence, Fats are used as an energy reserve biomolecule in living systems.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
