Task: Class Definition Understanding (ontology: Sciences/Biology)

Which of the following definitions best describes 'negative regulation of lipid storage'?

A. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of cellular response to hypoxia.
B. Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of cell adhesion.
C. Any process that decreases the rate, frequency or extent of lipid storage. Lipid storage is the accumulation and maintenance in cells or tissues of lipids, compounds soluble in organic solvents but insoluble or sparingly soluble in aqueous solvents. Lipid reserves can be accumulated during early developmental stages for mobilization and utilization at later stages of development.
D. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of a response to endoplasmic reticulum stress.

Answer: Any process that decreases the rate, frequency or extent of lipid storage. Lipid storage is the accumulation and maintenance in cells or tissues of lipids, compounds soluble in organic solvents but insoluble or sparingly soluble in aqueous solvents. Lipid reserves can be accumulated during early developmental stages for mobilization and utilization at later stages of development.
