A) Starving and doing what it can to get energy

Explanation:

The body uses carbohydrates and fat as main energy source. Aminoacids are used as energy source on a high protein diet as its exceds the amount needed for protein synthesis, or on starvation. In this second case, the aminoacids comes from the degradation of muscle proteins.
