Carbohydrates which includes sugars and starches, contain 4 calories per
gram, and are considered one of the main sources of energy for the human body. Fats on the other hand give 9 calories per gram,which is approximately 2.5 times more energy than carbohydrates. Moreover, fats contain more carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds than carbohydrates or proteins and are therefore richer in energy.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
