Answer:

E. glycogenolysis

Step-by-step explanation:

Glycogenolysis is the process whereby excess glucose stored by the body in the form of glycogen is then converted back/broken down into glucose molecules to serve as a source of energy

Glucagon secretion is stimulated when blood glucose concentration decreases and is secreted by the pancreas. The liver then converts the glycogen into glucose for use by the body
