Explanation:

Slow - absorbing carbs provide a steady release of energy over a long period. Fast - absorbing carbs give a quick burst but don't last. Protein is for muscle repair and growth, and fats are for long - term energy storage but are slower to be utilized for quick energy needs during physical activity. For a long - duration activity like a weekend baseball tournament, slow - absorbing carbs are ideal.

Answer:

B. Slow - absorbing carbs
