Solution

The correct option is B Fat and glycogen
  • Glycogen is a glucose polysaccharide occurring in most mammalian and nonmammalian animal cells.
  • In vertebrates, it is stored mainly in the liver as a reserve of glucose for other tissues.
  • And fats are stores in adipose tissue. Hence, in vertebrates, the food is mainly stored in the form of fat and glycogen.
  • So, the correct answer is "Fat and glycogen'.
