Answer:

Converts glucose and oxygen into water and carbon dioxide, which releases energy as ATP

Step-by-step explanation:

Cellular respiration is the process in which sugars are broken down into energy that can be used, so energy - or ATP - must be a product. Also, the chemical equation for the process is the following (the reactants are on left side of the arrow while the products are on the right):


C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2
6CO_2 + 6H_2O

So, since
C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2 represents glucose and oxygen and
6CO_2 + 6H_2O represents carbon dioxide and water, the answer must be the third option listed.
