D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Complex carbohydrates take longer to digest and are a more stable source of energy than simple carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates are present in foods such as bread and pasta.

Detailed explanation-2: -Complex carbohydrates: Many complex carbohydrate foods contain fiber, vitamins and minerals, and they take longer to digest – which means they have less of an immediate impact on blood sugar, causing it to rise more slowly.

Detailed explanation-3: -Complex Carbohydrates or polysaccharides contain longer chains of sugar (starches) and non-digestible fiber. Because of this they are harder to digest and take longer to raise blood sugar. These complex sugars help to keep our blood sugar stable over the day and avoid the mid-day crash.
