The right answer is D)tryptophan; ingested nutrients

Tryptophan is an essential amino acid for the body, it is also a constituent of proteins. It is one of the precursors of serotonin and thus allows to promote a good sleep and fight against depressive disorders. Tryptophan is mainly found in plant products because animals can not synthesize it.
