Solution

The correct option is A amylopectin
Glycogen and amylopectin (form of starch) polymer of $α - D - g l u c o s e$ with glycosidic linkages.
Glycogen is also known as animal starch because it is similar to the structure of amylopectin and is rather more highly branched.
Occurrence in human- Liver, muscle and brain.
