Answer 1

c

Answer 2

I don't think it's D) because Carbohydrates are the primary source of energy for the body, and I'm pretty positive it's not B). I'm just wondering because I can't decide between A) and C)

Answer 3

It is C because their is level in which protein is needed to build muscle, when it exceeds, the muscle will not develop again and your protein will be stored as amino acid. So, A is still coming back to C. Inf act, at certain age muscle building will not be necessary again.
