Answer:

The correct answer is A. adequacy

Explanation:

Principal of adequacy, moderation, variety, balance should be considered when you are making a healthy diet plan. Principle of adequacy says that you should have a diet that fulfills all the nutrient and energy demand of the body.

Here jack fulfills the balance, moderation and variety characteristic of a healthy diet but adequacy is missing in his diet because he is not taking an adequate amount of calories through his diet which fulfills the need of 2800 kilocalories a day for him. So the right answer is A.

Skin acts as a barrier between invaders (pathogens) and your body.
Digestive system defense has enzymes. The enzymes in your stomach, pancreas, and liver help destroy pathogens.
The circulatory system contains immune cells called lymphocytes, which protect the body against antigens (viruses, bacteria, etc. ) that invade the body.
The respiratory system is a layered defense mechanism which relies on components of both the innate and adaptive immune systems to protect the lungs and the rest of the respiratory tract against inhaled microorganisms.
The body’s innate immune system (nervous system), its first line of defense, recognizes infectious microorganisms such as bacteria, and initiates a generalized short-acting response while summoning the body’s adaptive immune cells to mount a sustained and targeted attack.
