Solution
The correct option is D Glycogen Glucose is transported by the blood to the various tissues and organs where it is used as energy. The glucose that is not used immediately is converted in the liver and muscles into glycogen for storage by the process of glycogenesis. It is stored in the liver and muscles. Glycogen stores are used as an energy source. When body needs glucose, glycogen breaks into glucose and comes to blood.
