The correct answer is: pancreas.
The hormone which is responsible for conversion of excessive glucose present in the body into glycogen is insulin. Glycogen is stored in the liver. Insulin is produced by the beta cells of Islet of Langerhans of pancreas.

Thymus is responsible for production of thymosins, which help in maturation of T lymphocytes.

The pituitary gland is responsible for production of hormones like GH, TSH, FSH, LH, etc. which have their respective functions.

The parathyroid gland is responsible for production of parathyroid hormone, which regulates calcium metabolism.
