D Correct answer
Explanation

Vitamins are essential micronutrients required for various metabolic processes, but they do not provide energy when broken down. Glucose and pulses (proteins) provide 4 kcal/g, while oil (fats) provides 9 kcal/g. Only the macronutrients - carbohydrates, proteins, and fats - supply calories.
