D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Simple carbohydrates, or sugars, are made up of shorter chains of molecules and are quicker to digest than complex carbohydrates. This fact means that simple carbohydrates produce a spike in blood glucose, providing the body with a short-lasting source of energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -SUGAR CARBS (or simple carbs) give you quick-acting, short-term energy and can be found in fruits, white bread, cereal, juice and soft drinks. STARCH CARBS (or complex carbs) give you slow-releasing, long-term energy and can be found in whole grains, vegetables and legumes (beans and peas).

Detailed explanation-3: -If you want long-lasting energy, you’ll need to consume carbohydrates. Between 40 percent and 60 percent of your calories should come from carbohydrates, with the type of carbohydrates you consume affecting how long lasting the resulting energy boost will be.

Detailed explanation-4: -Simple carbohydrates: Various forms of sugar, such as fructose (fruit sugar) and sucrose (table sugar), are simple carbohydrates. They are small molecules, so they can be broken down and absorbed by the body quickly and are the quickest source of energy.
