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 can be combined within a day or a single meal to ensure that all essential amino acids are included in one’s diet. Protein combining is something we tend to do already anyway in a balanced meal so you probably don’t need to worry too much about which amino acids you’re getting.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mutual supplementation is the process of combining two incomplete protein sources to make a complete protein. The two foods involved in this process are called complementary proteins. Most digestion of proteins occurs in the small intestine. Protein quality is determined by its amino acid content and digestibility.
