Answer:

The correct answer will be option- Fats

The Carbohydrates on oxidation produces 4 calories per gram, proteins also produce 4 calories per gram whereas Fats produces 9 calories per gram.

The Fats produces the highest amount of energy as fats require more oxidation to release water and carbon dioxide as compared to Carbohydrates.
