Solution

The correct option is B
Hepatic portal vein

This blood vessel carries blood from the stomach and small intestines – collectively called the 'gut' – to the liver. This will therefore have the highest concentration of glucose, as glucose is absorbed in the small intestine and sent to the liver. The liver then controls the amount of glucose in the blood, by converting excess glucose into glycogen for storage.
