Biology anabolism example

Why is D correct?

Hi!
As we know that Anabolism is the set of metabolic pathways which create complex molecules from smaller units.
Option D mentions condensation which is a chemical process by which 2 molecules are joined together to make a larger, more complex, molecule, with the loss of water.
so, we are creating something complex from smaller subunits thus it is an example of Anabolism.
Hope it helps:)

Thank you for explanation.
Why photosynthesis is not anabolism? According to this webpage,Photosynthesis is an anabolic process

Introduction to metabolism review (article) | Khan Academy.

photolysis is the split of water into hydrogen and oxygen using light it’s part of photosynthesis but it isn’t anabolic itself :))
