Solution

The correct option is B Gluconeogenesis
The synthesis of glucose from non carbohydrate precursors, a process called gluconeogenesis. The major non carbohydrate precursors are lactate, amino acids, and glycerol. Lactate is formed by active skeletal muscle when the rate of glycolysis exceeds the rate of oxidative metabolism.
