Solution

The correct option is D Fat
Animals use carbohydrates primarily for short-term energy storage, while lipids are used more for long-term energy storage. Carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in animals while lipids are stored as fats (in plants carbohydrates are stored as cellulose and lipids as oils)
So, the correct answer is 'Fat'
