Solution

The correct option is B Cytoplasm
Animal cells store food in the form of glycogen. The glycogen is stored as granules in the cytoplasm.
The excess of glucose in the blood is converted to glycogen in the muscle cells. The process of formation of glycogen is known as glycogenesis. During the muscle exercise when extra energy is needed the glycogen is broken down to glucose and channelized into the bloodstream by glycogenolysis.
So, the correct answer is option C.
