Solution

The correct option is C Triacylglycerol
Adipose tissue is connective tissue composed of adipocytes. It is found in mammals in two different forms as white adipose tissue and brown adipose tissue. Its main role is to store energy in the form of fat i.e. triacylglycerol. Triacylglycerol is the major energy storage form in higher animals. Thus the correct answer is option A.
