Answer:

The correct answer is option A. Hydrolysis of TAGs into fatty acids and glycerol.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lipase or lipoprotein lipase are also known as hormone sensitive lipase as it is a enzyme that activated by the epinephrine and glucagon hormone level in blood level. It is also activated by the norepinephrine release n adipose tissues.

This enzyme activates to hydrolysis of TAGs into glycerol and fatty acids. It removes fatty acids from glycerol when epinephrine and glucagon level are as required.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
