All the answers are correct.

The food we eat supplies the body with energy-rich molecules such as glucose. These molecules are then broken down into a series of steps and used in cellular respiration to form CO2 and H2O, releasing energy to be used by the body (ATP). Glucose is an example of carbohydrate monomer formed by hydrolysis of polymer (polysaccharides) which is ingested by food.
