Answer:

Answer is D . Those that degraded to acetyl=CoA.

Step-by-step explanation:

An amino acid is glucogenic when it can be converted to glucose through gluconeogenesis, while the amino acids that can be converted to ketone bodies are said to be ketogenic.

They can be degraded into acetyl CoA.
