Answer:

The correct answer is that the rice-only diet may result in malnutrition.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is true that rice would provide everyone with food, however, would not provide all the necessary nutrients that are needed to be absorbed by the body. Rice is a carbohydrate or starch, that is, is the only macromolecule one would be able to get from it. With the only consumption of rice, the body would lack other essential nutrients like calcium and protein, which permits the body to develop and grow appropriately.
