Answer :

Answer: C) The body needs carbohydrates to maintain health

Explanation:

Carbohydrates for Health: Carbohydrates are a primary source of energy for the body and are essential for proper functioning and health.

  • Fiber is a type of carbohydrate, but it is considered a complex carbohydrate, not a simple one. Simple carbohydrates include sugars like glucose and sucrose, while complex carbohydrates include fiber and starches.
  • Carbohydrates provide approximately 4 calories per gram, not 15.
