Answer:

Option B , Starch is found in plants, and glycogen is found in animals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Starch is a form of food reserve that is stored in plants in the form of amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is a simple glucose polymer while Amylopectin is a branched chain polymer of glucose.

Glycogen is found in animals. It is a complex chain of glucose molecule that is stored in liver. The glycogen is synthesized by animals for purpose of providing energy to muscles

Hence, option B is correct
