Which chemical reaction would result in the greatest release of energy A) ADP plus P -- and gt ATP B) ATP plus Oxygen -- and gt ADP plus P C) Pyruvic acid plus NADH -- and gt lactic acid plus NAD plus?

A) ADP plus P → ATP would result in the greatest release of energy as it is the process of phosphorylation where energy is stored in the phosphate bonds of ATP. The other options involve reactions that release energy through the breakdown of molecules but do not involve the formation of high-energy phosphate bonds.
