Dear student,

Option A is correct
Dear Student,
During respiration, glucose combines with oxygen in the cells of
our body to form carbon dioxide and water along with the production
of energy The balanced equation can be shown as:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 →
6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy
Respiration is termed as exothermic process since energy is
released during this process
Hope it helps
