Which list contains only macronutrients?

• A. Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, Water
• B. Vitamins, Minerals, Water, Carbohydrates
• C. Fructose, Lactose, Sucrose, Glucose
• D. Vitamin, Mineral, Water, Protein

Answer: (A)

Macronutrients are nutrients required in large amounts to provide energy and building blocks for the body, and they include carbohydrate, protein, fat (lipids), and water. The list that contains exactly these four categories—carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and water—is the correct one. The other options mix in micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals or include only one type of macronutrient, so they don’t represent the full macronutrient set.
