Budding, in biology, a form of asexual reproduction in which a new individual develops from some generative anatomical point of the parent organism. ... The initial protuberance of proliferating cytoplasm or cells, the bud, eventually develops into an organism duplicating the parent.

Explanation: im not sure if this will help because you didnt give any statements.

the positions which points up in upward carbon and down in downward carbon are axial

and vice versa holds true for equatorial positions

so the correct answer with labelled diagram will be

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
