b. They liberate smaller molecules from larger ones.

d. They include the citric acid cycle.

Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A is your answer, because in catabolic pathways ATP is released, not consumed. Besides, other options describes catabolic pathways as such.

The ATP energy is consumed in anabolic pathways, the opposite to catabolic. Maybe you thought that option D is the NOT TRUE, but actually the citric acid cycle is involved in catabolic pathways.
