A complex carbohydrate that provides little energy and cannot be digested by humans.
A
fat
B
glycogen
C
starch
D
fiber
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that the body can’t digest. Though most carbohydrates are broken down into sugar molecules called glucose, fiber cannot be broken down into sugar molecules, and instead it passes through the body undigested.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fiber is a class of complex carbs that your body can’t break down. Humans lack the enzymes to digest fiber, which means it passes through your stomach and small intestine more-or-less intact.

Detailed explanation-3: -In addition to providing energy, some of the healthiest sources of carbohydrates are also rich in other nutrients for the body. They can include large amounts of fiber (a beneficial type of complex carbohydrate), vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients.

Detailed explanation-4: -Humans cannot digest cellulose, but it nonetheless plays an important role in our diet. It acts as a water-attracting bulking agent for feces in the digestive tract and is often referred to as “dietary fiber."
