C.
Protein
D.
Fat
Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
Egg-Yolk contains the maximum amount of Fat.
Egg yolk has a high-fat content of about 4.5 - 6 grams per egg, which contributes about 10% of the daily recommended value. Egg is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids and unsaturated fats which cannot be made by the body and must be obtained from the diet.
The fat of an egg is found almost entirely in the yolk, there is less than 0.5% in the albumen. Most of an egg's total fatty acid composition is monounsaturated (approximately 38%). About a further 16% is polyunsaturated and only 28% is saturated.
