Option-C

Explanation:

FDA or U. S Food and Drug Administration is a government agency which aims at protecting the public health by ensuring the efficacy, safety and security of food products, drugs and other medical devices, cosmetics.

The FDA regulations suggest that a food product must have three types of claims on it which are:

1. The health claim in which the relation between the food ingredient and health-related issues are mentioned.

2. The Nutrient claim which mentions the level of a nutrient in a food.

3. Structure/Function Claims which describe the role of nutrients on the human body.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
