Solution

The correct option is A

Sugars


Complex carbohydrates are converted into simpler sugars and then utilised by the body. Excess carbohydrates are converted into sugars like glycogen and stored in the body. Thus, glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals and humans which is analogous to the starch in plants. Glycogen is synthesised and stored mainly in the liver and the muscles.
