Answer: Option B) DNA replication.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anabolism is a constructive process in which complex molecules are synthesized from simpler ones, and it consumes rather than produce cellular energy.

So since DNA replication involves the synthesis of newly synthesized strands that contains nucleotides complimentary to the free nucleotides present in the splitted parent strand; DNA replication is described as an example of anabolism.
