The correct answer is a. free energy is released.

Hydrolysis of ATP is a process in which chemical energy is released. ATP is a high-energy molecule because of its phosphoanhydride bonds. The energy of ATP is widely used within the cell in processes like transport of molecules across the cell membrane or anabolic reactions. It also facilitates enzyme activities and is the product of a few steps in metabolism.
