A Correct answer
Explanation

They are the cheapest and most readily available sources of energy. Simple carbohydrates are digested faster and converted into glucose which is used by the body for energy in the blood as glucose or stored in either the muscles or the liver as glycogen. If we eat more carbohydrates than we need for our energy requirements, the excess is converted to fat which is stored in our body.
