Answer:

The correct answer would be C) mechanical energy.

The muscles harness the energy from the food that is, the chemical energy and convert it into the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which is also a chemical energy.

The ATP are then used by the muscles as the source of energy for the movements such as locomotion that is, mechanical energy.
