ANABOLIC:
*constructive process,complex substances are synthesised from simple substances,"ATP"requiring process.
CATABOLIC:
*destructive, simple substances are formed by the break down of complex substances,"ATP" releasing process.

Synthesis means anabolism. Construction of complex molecule from simple one. Reduction means addition of h2 or removal of O2. Endergonic means takes reaction inside.

How is photosynthesis anabolic? it takes solar energy and uses it which makes it catabolic.

How is it catabolic? it is a synthesizing process.

For easy remembrance, anabolism is a constructive process and catabolism is a destructive process.

Catabolic reaction is the process which requires a catalyst for a particular chemical reaction and act as rate limiting step for synthesis. In case of photosynthesis sunlight act as catalyst for the plant during whole process to manufacture food for its own self. So right answer is C: Reductive, endergonic and catabolic.
