Answer:

C. All of the answer choices are correct.

Option A is correct because the reproduction of the cell implies arrangement of chromosomes, making of proteins, organelles, cytokinesis and other cells process that need energy since the mitochondria is not working properly there isn't an appropriate organelle function ( option B).

Option D is correct because ATP is needed for the membrane proteins to undergo active transport. For example the sodium-potassium pump is crucial for the balance of ions. With no energy the protein involved in this process would not work.
