All of the answers are correct. During a prolonged period of fasting or starvation, the body produces glucocorticoids (choice A) to mobilize energy stores, leading to increased breakdown of proteins and fats. This process produces ketone bodies (choice B) that are excreted in the urine. The breakdown of ketone bodies also leads to a decrease in blood pH (choice C).
