THIS IS THE BEST ANSWER 👇

Option D is false

Option E is false because it is incomplete

Option C is false

Explanation:

Well, for option D, it is considered false because the functional groups would be:

Acetone (not used as an energy source, exhaled or excreted as waste), Betahydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate (unless oxidized for use as an energy source).

It is false in statement C, because the formation of ketone bodies increases with the presence of acetylcoA, but acetone is one of those that will always appear in a lower percentage, since the body liberates it as waste, be it by the airways in exhalation (ketone characteristic breath) and urine (cetouria)

And as for option E, I think it’s false because the ketone groups are formed in the liver and kidneys.

Larger proportion in hepatic mitochondria and to a lesser extent in the kidney
