Solution

The correct option is C Roughage
Roughage or dietary fibres is a non-nutrient component of the food required by the body. It adds bulk to the food and helps the body to get rid of undigested food by facilitating its movement through the bowel. Vegetables and fruits are rich sources of dietary fibres.
