None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -The ATP-PC system provides an immediate and intense short burst of energy, useful in sports such as 100m sprints, Powerlifting, or throwing events such as the Javelin, Shot Put, or Discus throw, but is only useful for around 10 seconds.
Detailed explanation-2: -Examples – Due to the speed of ATP production and the short duration of the fuel source the alactacid energy system (ATP/PC) is the dominant system in activities such as a 100m sprint, discus, javelin, high jump and other sports of very short duration.
Detailed explanation-3: -The ATP-CP system is the system that is responsible for very short (i.e. 1-2 repetitions), explosive movements. This energy system is only good for about 6-10 seconds of activity. Using cars as an analogy, the ATP-CP system would be your nitrous boost.
