Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The Phosphagen System or Adenosine TriPhosphate - Creatine Phosphate (ATP-CP) is available in the muscles in a limited quantity, hence the amount of energy that is released through Phosphagen system is limited.

As a result the phosphagen stored in the muscle is exhausted vigorously and can only be used for activities which require very high energy for a very short duration of time.
