Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

ATP is injected in cyanide poisoning because it is necessary for cellular functions.
Plants have an alternative electron transfer pathway available that passes electrons directly from ubiquinone to O₂, which confers cyanide resistance by bypassing COX.
ATP is the power currency of a cell and it is injected in cyanide poisoning as it breaks down cyanide, necessary for the proper functioning of the cell.
