Solution
The correct option is C Liver and muscles
Glucose is produced in the body due to the breakdown of carbohydrates. The liver converts excess of glucose in the blood into glycogen and stores it. This glycogen is later converted back to glucose and used to provide energy to the body when glucose is depleted. Excess glycogen is also stored in the muscles and is used to provide energy to the muscles. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
