Biochem question on fructose-2,6-bisphosphate

High levels of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate in the liver would demonstrate a low rate of which of the following rxns?

alanine -> glucose
pyruvate -> oxaloacetate
acetyl CoA -> fatty acids

This is a question I came across that I don't understand, because it seems to me that high levels of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (fed state, insulin, glucose, or need for glycolysis) would be associated with low levels of more than one of these conversions.

Was the answer the first one? Because that's a gluconeogenic process, which would be low if F-2,6-BP was in high concentration. The latter two would be expected in a postprandial fed state to be high in the liver; the Krebs cycle can be used to convert glucose to other products (anabolism) that the body needs. AcetylCoA to fatty acids should be high because it's storing away the excess energy.
