Question 1 of 5

Nutrients used primarily to build and repair body tissues are:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Proteins, vitamins, and minerals build and repair tissues proteins form structures, vitamins aid processes, minerals strengthen bones per nutrition science. Carbs and fats provide energy, not repair. Fats and water support other functions. Iron and fats are too narrow. PSWs ensure these nutrients for healing, making 'Proteins, vitamins, and minerals' the correct tissue-building trio.
