d. the adenosine diphosphate and the third phosphate.

Explanation:

ATP is the most common energetic complex used by cells. The meaning of ATP is adenosine triphosphate.

The energy realized happens when the phosphate gets hydrolysis and that P-O-P bound is a high energy one.

The final result is ADP and phosphate.

This hydrolysis process it's called dephosphorylation.
