Answer 1

The correct option is A Nuts ----> Fats ----> Supplies energy, aids in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, A, D, K, E.

Most nuts contain at least some of these heart-healthy substances: unsaturated fats both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats lower bad cholesterol levels- like almonds, hazelnuts, and pecans. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in nuts (walnuts) and are one of the best plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids. People who eat nuts as part of a heart-healthy diet can lower the low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or "bad") cholesterol level in their blood. High LDL is one of the primary causes of heart disease. Eating nuts may reduce the risk of developing blood clots that can cause a fatal heart attack. Nuts also improve the health of the lining of arteries. The fatty acids in nuts also help to absorb the fat soluble vitamins like vitamin A,D, E and K.
