C. Polymerizing a protein from amino acids.

Explanation:

The polymerization of a protein from amino acids is an endergonic reaction. In such reactions, energy is used to drive chemical processes.

An endergonic reaction is a reaction in which energy must be supplied to make it happen.

In an exergonic reaction is a spontaneous reaction that can occur without the input of energy.

The formation of protein is an endergonic process. It requires that sufficient amount of energy be supplied so that the amino-acids can be joined together.
