Solution

The correct option is D Citrulline
L-citrulline is an amino acid normally made by the body. The body converts L-citrulline to L-arginine, another type of amino acid. L-arginine improves blood flow. It does so by creating nitric oxide (NO), a gas that helps dilate blood vessels.
So, the correct option is 'Citrulline'.
