Answer: The correct option is D (muscle biopsy)

Explanation: the typical method for the measurement of muscle glycogen is through a muscle biopsy. This is an invasive method involving the use of needles. It uses the addition of suction to the inner bore of the biopsy designed to pull the surrounding muscle tissue into the needle.
