Creatine is used to convertfood into energy, thus, the supply of the energy continues after creatine supplementation. This leads to rigrous ATP production and contraction of muscles. However, due to prolonged exercise, creatine levels decreases and causes fatigue, which might be the reason of depression in the athlete, after the race. So the correct answer is D.
