Answer: B. digestion

Explanation: Digestion is the bodily process where ingested food is broken down from complex molecules into smaller, simpler forms which contain nutrient molecules. It is a physiological process that is done for growth, energy, tissue repair,

It is not absorption because no molecules a broken down.

Not differentiation because it is not mainly cell or tissue specialization

Not respiration because that involves the production of ATP using glucose molecules.
