Solution

The correct option is A Anabolic
The anabolic processes are the reactions in which the smaller molecules come together to form larger complexes. The process is an endergonic process in which the energy is required for the formation of new bonds to form the larger complex molecules. The water molecule is removed and the phosphate group from 5 carbon of one nucleotide forms a bond with 3 carbon of another nucleotide. This reaction is an example of an anabolic process.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
