Choose the catabolic reaction. A. Breaking down a complex molecule
B. Synthesizing a complex molecule
C. CO2 and H2O combining to form carbonic acid.

B. Synthesizing a complex molecule

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since catabolic reactions are related to the synthesis of complex biomolecules and metabolic reactions to the breaking down of complex molecules to obtain energy from (say start), we infer that the appropriate answer is:

B. Synthesizing a complex molecule

Because regardless C. also mentions the synthesis of a compound, carbonic acid is not a complex one in comparison to the biomolecules we produce during our cellular cycles.

Best regards!

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
