D
All answers are correct
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In general, proteins from animal sources have a higher biological value than proteins from plant sources. Animal sources of protein are meat, poultry, fish, eggs, milk, cheese and yogurt, and they provide high biological value proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Guidelines state that half of your protein should come from “high biological value” (HBV) sources, which are almost entirely animal sources (meat, fish, poultry, egg whites, dairy). You may plan for the other half of your protein to come from plant sources.

Detailed explanation-3: -In general, animal sources, such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs, milk, cheese and yogurt, have higher biological value proteins, while plants, such as legumes, grains, nuts, seeds and vegetables, provide low biological value proteins.

Detailed explanation-4: -The biological value provides a measurement of how efficient the body utilizes protein consumed in the diet. A food with a high value correlates to a high supply of the essential amino acids.
