5. Which of the following nutrients is essential for muscle growth and repair?

• A. Vitamin C
• B. Protein
• C. Carbohydrates
• D. Fat

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Protein. Protein is essential for muscle growth and repair because it provides the necessary building blocks called amino acids. These amino acids are crucial for repairing and building muscle tissue, which is essential for overall muscle growth and recovery. While vitamins like Vitamin C play a role in overall health and immune function, they are not directly involved in muscle growth and repair. Carbohydrates provide energy for workouts, but they are not the primary nutrient needed for muscle repair. Fat is important for overall health but is not as directly involved in muscle growth and repair as protein is.
