Correct answer: D. Bile acids
- A. Cholesterol
- B. Leucine
- C. Ketone bodies
- D. Bile acids
Explanation
HMG-CoA is an intermediate in cholesterol synthesis and ketogenesis, and it can also arise during leucine catabolism. Bile-acid synthesis proceeds from cholesterol through hydroxylated sterol intermediates, not through HMG-CoA.
