Solution

The correct option is B Conversion of glycogen into glucose
Glycogenolysis is the biochemical breakdown of glycogen to glucose whereas glycogenesis is the opposite, the formation of glycogen from glucose. Glycogenolysis takes place in the cells of muscle and liver tissues in response to hormonal and neural signals. In particular, glycogenolysis plays an important role in the adrenaline-induced fight-or-flight response and the regulation of glucose levels in the blood.
