Nutrients give energy and keep your body running. Nutrients help build and strengthen bones, muscles, and tendons and also regulate body processes. Therefore, (d) is the correct answer.

For various interconnected activities taking place in the body, the energy and raw material is provided in the form of food. Therefore, (a) is the correct answer.

• Physiological calories obtained from different food substances are - Carbohydrates give 4.0Kcal/g, Proteins give 4.0Kcal/g while fats give 9.0Kcal/g.
• So, energy from 5g sugar = 5 x 4Kcal = 20Kcal
• Energy from 4g albumin = 4 x 4Kcal = 16Kcal
• energy from 10g+2g fat = 12 x 9Kcal = 108Kcal
• lignin cannot be digested by humans because of the absence of digestive enzyme for lignin so no calories will be obtained from them. Ruminants are capable of digesting lignin.
• Adding all the above-obtained values we get 144Kcal.

So, the correct answer is '144'.

• Immunization is the process whereby a person is made immune or resistant to an infectious disease, typically by the administration of a vaccine.
•  Vaccines stimulate the body's own immune system to protect the person against subsequent infection or disease. Hence, Immunization and vaccination can prevent infectious disease.

• Community health is a major field of study within the medical and clinical sciences which focuses on the maintenance, protection, and improvement of the physical and mental health status of population groups and communities.
• The WHO defines community health as environmental, social, and economic resources to sustain emotional and physical well being among people in ways that advance their aspirations and satisfy their needs in their unique environment. Hence, Physical health and mental health are interrelated.

• Habituation is the term used to refer to psychological dependence on a drug.
• Some drugs of abuse are highly rewarding because of their influence on reinforcing neurobiological processes, but they do not necessarily result in "tissue" related withdrawal symptoms.
•  Cessation of such drugs may lead primarily to subjective craving due to previous drug conditioning and craving may be more readily evoked or deeply conditioned among some persons than others ("addictive personalities"). Hence, Habituation is not the final stage of drug addiction.

• A communicable disease is one that is spread from one person to another through a variety of ways that include: contact with blood and bodily fluids; breathing in an airborne virus; or by being bitten by an insect. The most common and serious vaccine-preventable diseases tracked by the World Health Organization (WHO) are diphtheria, Haemophilus influenzae serotype b infection, hepatitis B, measles, meningitis, mumps, pertussis, poliomyelitis, rubella, tetanus, tuberculosis, and yellow fever. Hence, Communicable diseases like whooping cough, measles and polio can be prevented by vaccination. So, the correct answer is 'True'.
  

• The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) is the civic body that oversees Public Municipal schools; Street lighting; Maintenance of parks and open spaces; Garbage disposal and street and Health & Sanitation. 
• Hence, In India, Municipal corporators are responsible for maintaining the general well being of a particular area.   
• So, the correct answer is 'Municipal corporators'.
