Which items are sources of carbohydrates?

• A. Bread, Rice, Pasta, Cereal, Fruit, Vegetables, Juice, Dried Beans
• B. Chicken, Beef, Pork
• C. Oils and Fats
• D. Water, Juice

Answer: (A)

Carbohydrates are the body's main energy source and come from foods rich in starches and sugars. Bread, rice, pasta, and cereal are classic grain-based carbs; fruit and juice provide natural sugars; vegetables contain carbs as well; dried beans are a solid source of complex carbohydrates. The other options focus on protein foods or fats, which don't provide carbohydrates, and water has no carbs at all. So the set that lists familiar carbohydrate-rich foods best matches the question.
