A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It is true that if there’s an excess of carbohydrate in your body that cannot be utilized or stored as muscle or liver glycogen, it will be stored as fat.

Detailed explanation-2: -Alternatively, fat overfeeding had minimal effects on fat oxidation and total energy expenditure, leading to storage of 90-95% of excess energy. Excess dietary fat leads to greater fat accumulation than does excess dietary carbohydrate, and the difference was greatest early in the overfeeding period.

Detailed explanation-3: -If people consume more carbohydrates than they need at the time, the body stores some of these carbohydrates within cells (as glycogen) and converts the rest to fat. Glycogen is a complex carbohydrate that the body can easily and rapidly convert to energy. Glycogen is stored in the liver and the muscles.
