Organisms need to obtain energy via cellular respiration primarily C. to grow and reproduce.

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert nutrients into usable energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is essential for various cellular processes, including growth, reproduction, and maintenance of cellular functions. The other options relate to specific processes or concepts but do not capture the primary reason for energy acquisition through cellular respiration.
