Solution
The correct option is D Carbohydrates ∙ Carbohydrates are present in potato and rice. Bread also contains carbohydrates along with proteins, fibre, etc. ∙ The presence of carbohydrate in a food can be tested using iodine. When iodine solution is added to the food item, it turns blue-black, indicating the presence of starch(carbohydrate).
