Solution

The correct option is D Carbohydrates > Proteins > Fats
Respiratory quotient (RQ) is the ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide evolved to the volume of oxygen consumed. The respiratory quotient varies for different respiratory substrates.

Hence, the correct order should be carbohydrates > proteins > fats.
