Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Gluconeogenesis is the process by which the body converts non - carbohydrate sources like amino acids (from proteins), lactate, and glycerol (from fats) into glucose. Fat can be a source as glycerol from triglycerides can be used in gluconeogenesis. Neurons are cells and not directly converted to glucose in gluconeogenesis. Glucose is the end - product of gluconeogenesis, not the starting material.

Answer:

a. fat
