D.

Glucose is energy, which means it breaks down when energy is consumed. When a fox consumes it's pray, a seagull glides trough the air and a duck rests on a pond, not much glucose is consumed.

Energy is used when physical effort is necessary, and running from a predator, requires a lot of energy.
