The correct answer is B.short term energy storage.

1.Carbohydrates are primarily used by the body for short-term energy. They are broken down into simple sugars like glucose, which is then used by cells for energy. The body can store excess glucose in the form of glycogen (in the liver and muscles) for quick energy when needed.

2.Long-term energy storage is mainly handled by lipids (fats), not carbohydrates.
