Provide the correct answer for the multiple choice question and explain how the question relates to the paragraph on the pathways and transformation of energy and matter

Pathways and Transformations of Energy and Matter:
Within living systems at all levels of organization, both energy and matter can be
changed into different forms, in keeping with the laws of thermodynamics. These
transformations can take place through metabolic pathways that allow organisms to
take in matter and energy from their environment and, through a series of regulated
chemical reactions, transform these resources into forms that allow the organism to
stay alive and support key biological processes such as growth and reproduction.
