The answer is the second one (B): Keto acids.

Explanation for each option:

  • Gamma proteins: These are a type of protein, specifically immunoglobulins, and are not byproducts of protein catabolism.
  • Keto acids: These are indeed byproducts of protein catabolism. When proteins are broken down, amino acids are deaminated, resulting in the formation of keto acids.
  • Albumin: This is a type of protein found in the blood and is not a byproduct of protein catabolism.
  • Glycogen: This is a form of stored glucose in the liver and muscles and is not related to the byproducts of protein catabolism.

Summary: Keto acids are one of the byproducts of protein catabolism.
