Solution

The correct option is B

Not all food material possess the right amount of carbohydrate, proteins and fat.


Cereals are right source of carbohydrates and pulses provide us with proteins. Oilseeds provide fat, while fruits and vegetable give us minerals, vitamins and other essential nutrients. A food which has the right combination of all these is called balanced diet and would ensure our good health.
