This is considered disease management, not health promotion.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Micronutrients

Vitamins and minerals are needed in small amounts and are classified as micronutrients, essential for various body functions.

B. Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are a type of macronutrient that provide energy, not micronutrients.

C. Macronutrients

Macronutrients include carbohydrates, proteins, and fats—nutrients needed in large amounts, unlike vitamins and minerals.

D. Non-essential

Vitamins and minerals are essential nutrients that the body cannot produce in sufficient quantities on its own.

A. Mouth, pharynx, large intestine, small intestine B. Mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine C. Mouth, esophagus, stomach, pharynx, small intestine D. Mouth, pharynx, stomach, esophagus, anus

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Mouth, pharynx, large intestine, small intestine

This skips the esophagus and is in the wrong sequence (large intestine comes after small intestine).

B. Mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine

This accurately follows the correct path of food through the digestive system.

C. Mouth, esophagus, stomach, pharynx, small intestine

The pharynx comes immediately after the mouth, not after the stomach.

D. Mouth, pharynx, stomach, esophagus, anus

The esophagus comes before the stomach, and this sequence is incorrect and incomplete.
