D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Complex carbohydrates provide a more lasting source of energy than simple carbohydrates because they take longer to digest. However, this does not mean that all complex carbohydrates are healthier choices. Simple carbohydrates are present in many healthful foods, such as fruits and milk.

Detailed explanation-2: -Complex carbohydrates are made up of lots of sugars combined together. Sources of complex carbohydrates that will give you long-lasting energy include whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Popcorn, brown rice, wild rice, quinoa, barley, oatmeal, bulgur and buckwheat are examples of whole grains.

Detailed explanation-3: -Complex carbohydrates are digested more slowly and supply a lower more steady release of glucose into the blood stream. As with simple sugars, some complex carbohydrate foods are better choices than others. Refined grains, such as white flour and white rice, have been processed, which removes many nutrients and fiber.

Detailed explanation-4: -The healthiest sources of carbohydrates-unprocessed or minimally processed whole grains, vegetables, fruits and beans-promote good health by delivering vitamins, minerals, fiber, and a host of important phytonutrients.
