Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Cellulose: A structural carbohydrate in plants, not a storage carbohydrate for animals.
• Glucose: A monosaccharide, the primary energy source, but not the stored carbohydrate in animals.
• Glycogen: Stored in the liver and muscles of animals as a carbohydrate reserve.
• Triglyceride: A type of fat (lipid), not a carbohydrate.

So the correct answer is glycogen.

C. glycogen
