Solution

The correct option is C anabolism
Anabolism is a process in which small precursor molecules are converted into complex molecules. This involves the utilization of energy.

Catabolism is a process in which large molecules are broken down into smaller molecules releasing energy.

A biochemical pathway that involves both catabolism and anabolism is termed as an amphibolic pathway.
