Accepted Answer

Nutrition is the process of acquiring, assimilating, and utilizing nutrients by an organism. It involves the study of how food is digested and absorbed by the body, how nutrients are used to produce energy and build new tissue, and how different dietary patterns can affect health outcomes. While metabolism is related to nutrition, it is a broader term that refers to all the chemical reactions that occur in the body to maintain life. Option A and D are too narrow or specific to describe the full scope of nutrition.
