Answer:

The correct answer would be option A. chemical.

Food contains chemical energy which is harnessed and converted into ATP by the process called cellular respiration.

Glucose present in the food is oxidized completely to produce water, carbon dioxide, and energy in the form of ATP.

Food also provides raw materials such as amino acids, fats, minerals, vitamins, electrolytes, et cetera which are used by body for growth and repair.
