Correct answer: Glycogen  

Glycogen is a form of polysaccharide of glucose molecule which serve as energy storage unit in the humans. The excess glucose in the body is stored in the form of glycogen in the muscles and the liver.

The muscles can store upto 500 gram of glycogen and liver can store 100 gram of glucose. Therefore, any carbohydrate which is consumed beyond this limit are converted to and stored as fat.

Glycogen that are stored in muscle are broken down into glucose while  the liver cell glycogen are broken down into glucose as a circulating energy source to be used by the body.
