Carbohydrate is the quickest energy for the tiger when it sprints across a field to hunt its prey.

Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Tigers are not opportunistic scavengers. When hungry they run catch their prey and devour it. For this they need energy. The Carbohydrates are the important source of energy.

The carbohydrate break into smaller sugars called glucose. The glucose is stored as glycogen in the muscles and in the liver so that when need arises it releases energy. When in need the glucose at once gives energy for the active movement of the muscle which enables the tiger to sprint after its prey.
