A. Liver glycogen

B. Fatty acids

C. Muscle glycogen

Answer:

B. Fatty acids

Explanation:

Fat is one of the nutrients present in foods that humans consume. This fat is stored in the body.

The blood then transport this fatty acids to the muscles to be used as the primary source of fuel during an endurance exercise.
