In the resistance stage, the body tries to adapt and cope with the stressor. Finally, in the exhaustion stage, the body's resources are depleted, leading to various physical and psychological problems.

    Carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins are considered macronutrients because they are required by the body in large amounts to provide energy and support various bodily functions. Carbohydrates are the body's main source of energy, lipids (fats) provide energy and help with the absorption of certain vitamins, and proteins are essential for growth, repair, and maintenance of tissues. Vitamins, minerals, and fiber are considered micronutrients as they are required in smaller amounts for specific functions in the body.

    C. Vitamins
    Explanation
    Vitamins are organic nutrients found in foods. They are essential for the proper functioning of the body and are required in small amounts. Vitamins play a crucial role in various bodily processes, such as metabolism, immune function, and cell growth. They are obtained through a balanced diet that includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.

Vitamin A is important for vision, immune function, and cell growth. Vitamin K is necessary for blood clotting and bone health. Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption and bone health. B3, B2, and C are water-soluble vitamins, which means they dissolve in water and are not stored in the body.

It is necessary for the proper growth and division of cells, including the cells involved in DNA replication. Folic acid is also important for the development of the neural tube in embryos, making it essential for proper fetal development.
