Solution
The answer is the fourth one (or D): food.
Explanation for each option:
Water: While water is essential for life and various bodily functions, it does not provide calories or serve as a direct source of energy.
Minerals: Minerals are important for various physiological processes, but they do not provide calories or energy.
Sunlight: Sunlight is crucial for the synthesis of vitamin D in humans and is the primary energy source for plants through photosynthesis, but humans do not directly obtain calories from sunlight.
Food: Food is the correct answer because it contains macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) that are metabolized by the body to produce energy in the form of calories.
