Solution

The correct option is D Polymerisation
Polymerisation is the process by which the simpler unit known as monomers attaches with the help of chemical bond to form a long chain or branched structure. It helps to produce new chemicals. glucose polymerizes to form glycogen. Glycogen is osmotically inactive due to its large size. It is stored in the muscles. It is broken down into glucose by glycogenolysis and released into the blood for metabolic use during low concentration of glucose in the blood.
So, the correct answer is option B.
