D. Lipids, Specifically Animal Fat

Answer: Option D

Step-by-step explanation: Lipids and specifically animal fat has most of the energy as compared to other macro molecules.

Protein and Carbohydrates provides 4 calories per gram of energy and lipids especially animals fat has 9 calories per gram.

It is not very efficient that every time the body needs energy it will burn out the fat inside the body, so carbohydrates are used up first.

But most of energy that is supplied to the body is by Lipids(animal fat).
