    • Essential aa

    • Animal proteins

    Correct Answer
    A. Nonessential aa
    Explanation
    The body has the ability to synthesize nonessential amino acids, which means that it can produce these amino acids on its own. Nonessential amino acids are not required to be obtained from the diet because the body can make them. On the other hand, essential amino acids cannot be synthesized by the body and must be obtained from the diet. Animal proteins are a source of both essential and nonessential amino acids, but they are not the specific type of amino acids that the body synthesizes.
