Solution

The correct option is D Amphibolic
The term amphibolic is used to describe a biochemical pathway that is both catabolic and anabolic in nature.
An important example of an amphibolic pathway is the Krebs cycle.
This pathway involves both, the catabolism of carbohydrates and fatty acids, as well as the synthesis of substances such as alpha-ketoglutarate and oxaloaccetate that serve as precursors for many other biological pathways.
