Answer:

Option D, The energy is transferred to ATP

Explanation:

The full form of ATP is Adenosine Triphosphate.

ATP is an energy molecule that is produced during the cellular respiration. It responsible for storing and transporting energy through out the body for all metabolic processes.

During the process of hydrolysis, phosphoanhydride bond in ATP is broken and phosphorus is released along with energy. ATP after release of energy converts into ADP.

Thus, option D is correct.
