Solution

The correct option is A

Liver and muscle


Carbohydrates are the primary source of energy for the body. However, excess carbohydrates consumed is converted into glycogen and stored in the human body in places such as liver and muscles. It can be then broken down to glucose when needed and utilised by the body, when necessary.
