Solution

The correct option is A It is an energy giving carbohydrate.
Carbohydrates on digestion turn into glucose. Glucose is the simplest form in which carbohydrates are absorbed into our body. They are an energy giving component of food. Hence, consuming glucose right after a burst of activity can give an energy boost to the body.
