Solution

The correct option is A
It is an energy-giving carbohydrate

Carbohydrates are the energy giving components of food. There are two types of carbohydrates: sugar and starch, found in our body. Glucose comes under sugar which is the simplest form in which carbohydrates are absorbed in our body. Hence, consuming glucose right after a bust of activity can give energy boost to the body.
