Best answer
Right option is (a) Toxicity

The explanation is: Toxicity can be determined by the effect of a particular substance on an organism or any type of cell or tissue. Whereas, metabolism is the set of chemical reactions that take place in organisms, Gluconeogenesis is a metabolic process to produce sugars for catabolic reactions from any non-carbohydrate precursor and Glycogenesis is also a metabolic process.
