Anabolism builds cellular material from assimilated carbon and consumes energy, so (i) is correct. Catabolism breaks substrates down and conserves released energy primarily by forming ATP from ADP. ATP hydrolysis supplies energy for energy-demanding processes rather than defining net catabolic energy capture. Therefore the intended classification is **C**.
