Answer 2

Answer:

C. 12–14 hours

Explanation:

Glycogen is a polysaccharide that serves as a source of energy for the human body. It can be stored in the human body at rest for 12-14 hours.

Glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles of the skeleton that serves as a source of energy when the body requires it (for example during exercise or when the body has a reduced amount of glucose in the body)
