Solution

The correct option is A Carbohydrates
Carbohydrate is the major source of energy without which one cannot live. It is because carbohydrate is broken down to form instant energy in the form of glucose which can be converted into ATP and thus used for the regular functioning of the cell. Other forms of energy like proteins, vitamins, and minerals are the extra components that are not directly involved in the formation of energy.
So, the correct option is 'carbohydrates'
