Correct option is (C) 3

ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is a molecule that serves as the main source of energy in cells. It is composed of an adenosine molecule linked to three phosphate groups. ATP stores energy that cells can use for various processes, such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, and chemical synthesis. When ATP is hydrolyzed, energy is released and one of its phosphate bonds is cleaved, resulting in the formation of ADP (adenosine diphosphate).
