Solution

The correct option is B Anabolic reaction
The anabolic processes are the reactions in which the smaller organic molecules are used for the production of the large complex molecules. The energy is added to the smaller amino acids which react to form the linear chain of large proteins. The acetyl Co-A is a small molecule which is added repeatedly to form a long fatty acid.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
