C is correct: ATP-PCr provides immediate energy (0-10s), followed by Glycolytic (10s-2min), then Aerobic system dominates for the remaining 5+ minutes

Other Options:

A is incorrect: Glycolytic precedes Aerobic system
B is incorrect: ATP-PCr is always first system used
D is incorrect: Sequence is reversed from actual energy system use
