Solution
The correct option is C Vitamins
Fats are converted into energy when they are completely oxidized to CO2 and water by β-oxidation and the citric acid cycle. Carbohydrates are completely oxidized to CO2 and water during aerobic respiration and lead to the generation of ATP. Proteins get converted into intermediates of the respiratory cycle and finally get converted to high yielding energy molecules.
Vitamins do not directly play an important role in energy production however, they support the metabolism indirectly.
