Correct answer: C

  1. Identify what “animal starch” refers to

    In biomolecules, the storage polysaccharide in animals is glycogen.

  2. Compare with the given options

    • A: Amylose — a component of plant starch, not animal starch.
    • B: Maltose — a disaccharide, not the storage polysaccharide in animals.
    • C: Glycogen — the storage polysaccharide in animals; this is called animal starch.
    • D: Amylopectin — another component of plant starch, not animal starch.

  3. Conclusion

    Therefore, animal starch = glycogen.

Option C: Glycogen\boxed{\text{Option C: Glycogen}}Option C: Glycogen​

  1. Comparison with stored correct answer

    The stored correct answer is C, which matches the derived answer.
