Explanation:

Metabolism is the set of life - sustaining chemical reactions in organisms. It includes processes like breaking down nutrients (catabolism) to obtain energy and using that energy to build components of cells (anabolism). Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment. Reproduction is the process by which organisms produce offspring. Since the question is about obtaining and using energy, metabolism is the correct term.
