Solution

The correct option is D Conversion of glucose to glycogen.
Glycogenesis is the process of glycogen synthesis, in which glucose molecules are added to chains of glycogen for storage. This process is activated during rest periods following the Cori cycle, in the liver, and also activated by insulin in response to high glucose levels. Mostly glycogenesis occurs in the liver.
