Solution

The correct option is A

Sweet potatoes, Chapathis, Pasta


Sweet potatoes, chapatis and pasta are the sources of carbohydrate or starch which act as substrates for salivary amylase to act and convert it to simple sugars. Green peas, pulses are sources of protein whereas sunflower seeds, butter are the sources of fats.Though tapioca, bread and rice are also sources of carbohydrate, they are in an inappropriate group.
