Solution

The correct option is C Soyabean and groundnut
Soy protein is a protein that is isolated from soybean. It is made from soybean meal that has been dehulled and defatted. Soybean protein is a "complete protein" since it provides all of the essential amino acids for human nutrition. Soybean protein is essentially identical to that of other legume pulses, and is one of the least expensive sources of dietary protein. For this reason, soy is important to many vegetarians and vegans.
Groundnuts are rich in energy (567 calories per 100 g) and contain health benefiting nutrients, minerals, antioxidants and vitamins that are essential for optimum health.
So, the correct answer is option C.
