The correct answer is:

B. It goes through chemical reactions with oxygen, which forms new molecules and provides energy for cells.

In the body, glucose undergoes a process called cellular respiration. This process involves the conversion of glucose in the presence of oxygen to produce energy (in the form of ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.
