B Correct answer
Explanation

The brain cannot store glucose. Unlike the liver and muscles which store glucose as glycogen, the brain relies entirely on a continuous supply of glucose from the bloodstream. The brain has very limited energy reserves and consumes about 20% of the body's total glucose despite being only 2% of body weight.
