A. Both anabolic and catabolic reactions took place in the seed and tree when it was young and growing, but then all reactions stopped when the tree reached a stable mass.

B. Both anabolic and catabolic reactions took place in the seed and tree when it was young and growing, and both continue now even though the tree reached a stable mass.

C. Only anabolic reactions took place in the seed and tree when it was young and growing, and only catabolic reactions continue now that the tree reached a stable mass.

D. Only catabolic reactions took place in the seed and tree when it was young and growing, and only anabolic reactions continue now that the tree reached a stable mass.
