Solution

The correct option is A Liver
Ketone bodies are produced mainly in the mitochondria of liver cells, and synthesis can occur in response to an unavailability of blood glucose, such as during fasting. The production of ketone bodies is then initiated to make available energy that is stored as fatty acids.
Thus the correct answer is A.
