all of the above

The correct option is D:

Explanation of the correct option:

1. The liver is the largest gland in the human body and it performs many functions for the body.
2. Liver functions for the body like glycogenolysis, glycogenesis, and deamination.
3. Glycogenolysis is the breakdown of the molecule glycogen into glucose, which is a simple sugar that the body uses to produce energy.
4. Glycogenesis is the process through which glycogen is synthesized and glucose molecules are added to the glycogen chains for storage purposes.
5. Deamination is the removal of an amino group from a molecule.
6. Enzymes that catalyze this reaction are called deaminases.
7. In the human body, deamination takes place primarily in the liver.

Final answer: The liver performs the function of Glycogenolysis, Glycogenesis, and Deamination.( all of the above)
