A
In a protein
B
in a chemical bond
C
in your leg
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The food we eat contains stored chemical energy. As the bonds between the atoms in food loosen or break, a chemical reaction takes place, and new compounds are created. The energy produced from this reaction keeps us warm, helps us move, and allows us to grow.

Detailed explanation-2: -CHEMICAL ENERGY is the energy stored in the bonds between atoms and molecules. Food, fuel, and the energy stored in the chemicals inside a battery are examples. NUCLEAR ENERGY is the energy stored in the nucleus of an atom – the energy that holds the nucleus together.

Detailed explanation-3: -The potential energy of chemical energy is found stored in the chemical bonds that bind atoms in molecules. Breaking these bonds apart or reforming them by adding fuels or reactants releases the chemical energy in the bonds. We call this breaking and forming of bonds a chemical reaction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Final answer: Energy derived from the food we eat is stored in our body in the form of glycogen.
