Correct answer: B.

Internal respiration is the exchange of gases at systemic capillaries where oxygen diffuses from blood into body cells (for use in cellular respiration and ATP production) and carbon dioxide diffuses from cells into blood as a waste product.

Why the others are wrong:
- A: It doesn’t create energy inside red blood cells.
- C: Carbon dioxide is a waste product, not a substance needed to make energy.
- D: It doesn’t remove energy; it supplies oxygen for energy production and removes CO2.
