Solution

The correct option is A 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 glucose molecule is the smaller molecule. When the phosphate group is added to the 6 $^{t h}$ carbon of the glucose, glucose-6-phosphate is formed which is the larger molecule.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
