The correct answer is option C-glycogen

Glycogen is an immediate source of energy in animals. Glycogen is formed of small sub-units called glucose monomers. The process of formation of glycogen is called glycogenesis.

Glycogen is animal equivalent to starch.

When body need energy, the stored glycogen breaks down into small monomers called glucose and provide energy to the cell.

The excessive amount of glycogen is stored in muscles and liver.

Aneli [31]

Examples of protists that possibly evolving form endosymbiosis are Paramecium and amoeba.

As per the theory of endosymbiosis, it is likely that some non-photosynthetic organisms formed a symbiotic relationship with organisms that had the ability to photosynthesize using chloroplasts. These organisms then got the ability to photosynthesize due to the addition of chloroplasts into their cells, and this resulted in eukaryotic organisms with chloroplasts.
