Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
When the liver converts glucose to glycogen, it sends signals to the brain to reduce hunger and increase feelings of satiety. This is because glycogen is a stored form of glucose, so when it is present in the liver, the body has enough energy and does not need to keep consuming food.
