Solution

The correct option is A growth and repair of body tissues
Protein is the main structural component of cells and helps in building the body tissue. It breaks down into amino acids, which are building blocks of protein. These amino acids are then used to build new proteins required by the cells/ tissues. Few of the protein sources are low-fat meat, beans, eggs and beans.
