Final answer:

In the fasting state, lipolysis is activated in adipose tissue, while in muscle tissue during exercise, glucose release and ATP generation occur. Therefore, LPL is activated in both tissues. So, the correct answer is option b.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the fasting state, lipolysis is activated in adipose tissue. Lipolysis is the process of breaking down stored lipids into glycerol and free fatty acids. This is regulated by hormones such as glucagon, growth hormone, adrenaline, and ACTH, which stimulate lipolysis.

On the other hand, in muscle tissue during exercise, glucose is released into the blood to maintain glucose homeostasis. Catabolized amino acids from muscle proteins can also generate ATP after undergoing ketogenesis and ketone oxidation in the liver. Therefore, the answer is B) Activated.
