Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the body is consuming a very low amount of carbohydrates, it turns to using fat as its main source of energy. This results in the formation of ketone bodies, which are produced by the liver from fatty acids. Therefore, choice C, ketone bodies, is the correct answer. Choices A and B are unlikely because a low-carbohydrate diet does not necessarily lead to an increase in muscle cells or glycogen. Choice D is also unlikely because there is no indication that Bethany's diet is rich in vitamins.
