C Correct answer
Explanation

The correct sequence is: nutrient (noun as subject, 'the nutrient potassium'), Nutrition (abstract noun as subject, 'Nutrition is considered'), and nutritious (adjective modifying meal, 'nutritious meal'). This tests understanding that 'nutrient' refers to specific substances, 'nutrition' is the broader concept/process, and 'nutritious' is the adjective describing healthful food.
