Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the body runs out of glucose, which is the primary source of energy for the brain, it starts converting fat into ketones, which can be used by the brain as an alternative source of energy. This process is known as ketosis and is a natural response to fasting or low carbohydrate diets. Therefore, the correct answer is B (ketones).
