Correct:
B
Explanation
Milk contains several minerals in addition to proteins and carbohydrates. Authoritative nutrition sources list calcium and potassium among the primary nutrients in milk and highlight their roles in bone health and physiological balance, making them prominent contributors to milk’s nutritional value. Iron is present in milk but at very low concentrations in most samples; mineral surveys report iron levels as generally minor compared with calcium and potassium, so iron is not usually counted as a major nutritive element of milk [1]. Comprehensive reviews of milk composition list calcium, potassium and other trace minerals, but emphasize calcium and potassium as the key mineral contributors to milk’s nutritive profile [1].
