ADP is an abbreviation for:
A
aniline diphosphate.
B
adenine diphosphate.
C
adenosine diphosphate.
D
adenosine triphosphate.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Adenosine diphosphate (ADP), also known as adenosine pyrophosphate (APP), is an important organic compound in metabolism and is essential to the flow of energy in living cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is a platelet activator that is released from platelet granules during the formation of a hemostatic plug.

Detailed explanation-3: -Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is a nucleoside phosphate comprised of a ribonucleoside and two phosphate groups. It means it has a ribose as its sugar and two phosphate groups attached. Its nucleoside contains a purine base, i.e. an adenine attached to the ribose sugar.

Detailed explanation-4: -If a cell needs to spend energy to accomplish a task, the ATP molecule splits off one of its three phosphates, becoming ADP (Adenosine di-phosphate) + phosphate.

Detailed explanation-5: -Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is a biological molecule consisting of one adenine, one sugar, and two phosphates. Its most important role is that it is combined with a phosphate molecule to make ATP, the premier energy molecule in living cells. ADP is also used to help activate platelets in clotting.
