Solution

The correct option is B Glycogen
Glycogen is a polysaccharide that serves as a form of stored energy in animals and fungi. Glucose is the primary source of energy. It is the fuel most often burnt in cellular respiration. Excess glucose is polymerized and stored as glycogen in animals and starch in plants. Humans store glycogen in two locations; liver and muscles.
Thus, the correct answer is option 'Glycogen'.
