C. By storing glucose

Explanation:

Glucose is stored in the liver in the form of glycogen via the process of #"glycogenesis"#. Hepatocytes will undergo #"glycogenesis"# when there is an excess of glucose in the blood, after a nutrient-rich meal.

When blood glucose is low, however, the liver will undergo #"glycogenolysis"#, the breakdown of glycogen to glucose.

Glycogenolysis is stimulated by the hormones, #"epinephrine"# and #"glucagon"# as well as the mononucleotide, #"AMP"#.
