Solution

The correct option is B Starch
Starch is storage polysaccharide of plants. It is a homopolymer of glucose and is made up of two components amylose and amylopectin. The amylose is made up of a straight chain of glucose while amylopectin is made up of a branched chain of glucose. The excess of glucose is stored as reserved material in plants.
Glycogen is the storage of glucose in muscle cells.
Lactic acid is the deposition of pyruvate in muscle cells under anaerobic condition.
So, the correct answer is option B.
