Solution

The correct option is D
Amphibolic

The amphibolic pathway is a pathway which acts as a catabolic pathway for respiratory substrates and also functions as an anabolic pathway for the synthesis of various intermediary metabolic products and secondary metabolites. The TCA or Krebs cycle acts as an amphibolic pathway because it is involved in the breakdown as well as synthesis of biomolecules.
