A food contains 1.1 grams carbohydrates, 13 grams protein, and 11 grams fats would yield 155.4 calories.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Any food which we intake contains a combination of proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates and fats. The food which we ingest gets digested and assimilated to yield energy.

Every gram of protein taken would yield 4 calories, every gram of carbohydrate taken would yield 4 calories of energy whereas every gram of fat taken would yield 9 grams of energy.
