which of the following conditions results from a diet that is too low in carbohydrate to supply enough glucose to the brain, therefore producing an alternative fuel?
phenylketonuria
ketosis
hyperglycemia

Explanation:

When carbohydrate - intake is too low to supply enough glucose to the brain, the body enters ketosis and produces ketone bodies as an alternative fuel. Phenylketonuria is a genetic disorder related to phenylalanine metabolism, and hyperglycemia is high blood - glucose levels, not related to this alternative fuel production due to low carbohydrate intake.

Answer:

B. Ketosis
