Solution

The correct option is A catabolic
Metabolism comprises of two types of reactions or processes - anabolism and catabolism. Respiration is a catabolic process as there is a release of energy by breaking down of complex molecules to simpler ones. Photosynthesis is an anabolic process as it synthesises a complex molecule from simple molecules with the use of energy.
