SSC GD 2025 PYQ — Question 21

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Fat is considered as a good source of energy during the exercise and competition.

 

During exercise and competition, the body primarily relies on carbohydrates (glycogen and glucose) for quick energy because they are metabolised faster than fats. While fats are an important energy source at rest or during low-intensity activity, they are not ideal for high-intensity exercise as they take longer to convert into usable energy.

The other statements are correct:

• Vitamin A, E, C act as antioxidants.

• Vitamin C aids iron absorption.

• Vitamin C is crucial for collagen synthesis.
