Solution

The correct option is B
Endergonic and anabolic

It is not a catabolic process because it does not release energy and neither are its intermediates used as precursors for other compounds and hence it is neither amphibolic. It involves the absorption of solar energy and the production of molecules which have greater free energy than the reactants. Hence, this is an endergonic and anabolic process.
