Explanation / Answer

Option 4 is the correct answer.

Gluconeogenesis is the process by which body produces glucose from other non-carbohydrate sources such as fats, proteins and glucogenic amino acids. Hence, after fasting for 4-5 hours, the body will use gluconeogenesis to produce glucose from amino acid and glycerol molecules.
