Solution

The correct option is A Gluconeogenesis
Glucogenesis and Gluconeogenesis both produce glucose. Gluconeogenesis is the process in which glucose is formed from non-carbohydrate sources such as amino acids, fatty acids, and glycerol. Glyconeogenesis on the other hand is the process of production of carbohydrates (mainly glycogen) from non- carbohydrate sources.
So, the correct answer is 'gluconeogenesis'.
