The catabolic processes are the reactions in which the large complex molecules are broken down to form the smaller molecules. The process is an exergonic process in which the energy is released due to the breaking of the bonds of the larger complex molecules. The energy is released due to breaking of the bonds in the ATP molecule to produce ADP or AMP.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
