The answer is B. Protein.
Carbohydrates are macronutrients that is used as the source of energy in the body. The enzyme amylase which is commonly found in the saliva helps the breakdown of carbohydrates. Fat on the other hand is a macronutrient that helps insulate the body and protects the vital organs. Fat is also used as stored energy that can be readily used. Protein helps to build muscle and repair our body due to the presence of amino acid. Amino acid is the building block of protein and there are different amino acids and can be separated into essential and non essential.
