Solution
The correct option is D all of the choices are correct
When carbohydrates are not available, other substrates are used for respiration. Proteins are broken down to amino acids and the amino acids can be used for respiration. Some amino acids enter the oxidative phosphorylation pathway as acetyl CoA, while others form pyruvate, oxaloacetate, alpha-ketoglutarate etc. Fatty acids basically enter citric acid cycle as acetyl CoA.
