SSC CGL 2025 PYQ — Question 35

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Micronutrient - Iron.

Nutrients are broadly classified into macronutrients and micronutrients based on the quantity required by the body. Macronutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, calcium, and magnesium are needed in relatively large amounts for energy production, growth, and body maintenance. In contrast, micronutrients are required in very small quantities but are essential for proper physiological functions. Minerals like iron, zinc, iodine, and vitamins fall under this category. Among the given options, iron is a micronutrient because the body requires it in small amounts for functions such as hemoglobin formation and oxygen transport in the blood. Therefore, the correctly matched pair is Micronutrient – Iron.
