The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Statement I: Glycogen structurally resembles amylopectin, not amylose. Glycogen and amylopectin are both branched glucose polymers, whereas amylose is a linear glucose polymer. Therefore, statement I is false.
Statement II: Glycogen, a storage polysaccharide in animals, is also present in fungi, such as yeast. Therefore, statement II is true.
