Original practice item, not a recalled exam question. Nothing here is recorded.

The answer and the reasoning

D. Glycogen synthesis

This item reviews Insulin; Glycogen synthesis is the best answer because it directly matches the biochemical or pathological mechanism described.

Option by option

A. Lipolysis only
Lipolysis only is plausible but not the best answer.
B. Ketogenesis only
Ketogenesis only does not fit the stated pattern.
C. Gluconeogenesis
Gluconeogenesis is unsupported by the key feature.
