Solution

The correct option is B
Fats

Nutrients are classified into 5 major groups. Carbohydrates like rice, potato, and sugarcane provide energy. Proteins like pulses, milk, and eggs provide the body with building material to grow. Fats like ghee, oil, and butter provide energy and help to insulate the body. Minerals such as iron, sodium, calcium, phosphorous, etc. are required for building strong bones. Vitamins are needed as they help to support the bones, heal wounds, and bolster your immune system. They also convert food into energy, and repair cellular damage.
