Best answer
Right option is (a) Phosphanhydride bond

For explanation: The conserved energy in the phosphanhydride bond of ATP is partially used for cell multiplication and maintenance metabolism during oxidative phosphorylation by proliferating bacteria, whereas, Phosphodiester bond, ether bond, covalent bond is not involved in ATP conservation.
