Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
An individual’s protein requirement ____
A
can only be met by eating complete proteins
B
is difficult to achieve in the United States
C
is not affected by health status
D
can be met by combining incomplete proteins.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Incomplete proteins are proteins that do not contain all essential amino acids. Most plant foods are incomplete proteins, including beans, nuts, and grains. People can combine incomplete protein sources to create a meal that provides all essential amino acids.

Detailed explanation-2: -Combining incomplete proteins to form a complete protein If you’re a vegetarian or vegan, or if you limit the amount of animal products you consume, you can combine incomplete, plant-based proteins to meet your body’s needs. Combinations include: Nuts or seeds with whole grains (peanut butter on whole wheat toast)

Detailed explanation-3: -Combine your proteins Even though vegetarian sources of protein are more likely to be incomplete proteins, mixing and matching those protein sources can get you all the amino acids your body needs.

Detailed explanation-4: -Meanwhile, some experts say that to make incomplete proteins complete, you need to consume multiple and specific complementary proteins within the same meal.

Detailed explanation-5: -The process of combining two incomplete proteins to make a complete protein is called c. mutual supplementation. In mutual supplementation, you are supplementing, or adding, to one protein what it is missing (i.e. the other protein) and vice versa.
