The Hydrolysis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate

A. can drive cellular work
B is an exergonic process
C release free energy from hydrolysis of ADP
D.& E. omitted.

Answer: A

Can someone explain this to me? I don't understand the question. I copied it word by word from Topscore. It is referring to hydrolysis of ATP (ATP--> ADP + Pi) or regeneration of ATP (ADP + Pi --> ATP)?

and I think hydrolysis of ATP (ATP --> ADP + Pi) is both exergonic and can drive cellular work?

Thanks!!!

Yeah that question is messed up. Hydrolysis is ATP -> ADP + Pi...and that is exergonic..and that does work...Topscore's fault, not yours!
