A scientist has developed an adipocyte cell line that, at 42degC, cannot degrade triglycerides to glycerol and free fatty acids. At 25degC, the triglyceride degradation is normal. Which one of the following best reflects enzymes in which a temperature-sensitive mutation may lead to this phenotype?

AProtein Kinase A - yes; Adenylate Kinase - no; Insulin Receptor - no; Glucagon Receptor - yes; Glycerol Kinase - yes
BProtein Kinase A - no; Adenylate Kinase - no; Insulin Receptor - yes; Glucagon Receptor - no; Glycerol Kinase - yes
CProtein Kinase A - yes; Adenylate Kinase - no; Insulin Receptor - no; Glucagon Receptor - yes; Glycerol Kinase - no
DProtein Kinase A - no; Adenylate Kinase - yes; Insulin Receptor - yes; Glucagon Receptor - no; Glycerol Kinase - no
