Solution

The correct option is A
It is an energy giving carbohydrate

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