Explanation:

Healthier snacks are designed to offer substances that are beneficial for the body. Nutrients are substances in food that our bodies need for energy, growth, and repair. Proteins are a type of nutrient, but the question is looking for a more general term. Fat and carbs (carbohydrates) are also types of nutrients, but excessive fat (especially unhealthy fats) and simple carbs (in large amounts) are not typically what make a snack "healthier" in terms of providing what we "need more of" in a balanced diet. Nutrients is the most comprehensive and appropriate term as it encompasses all the beneficial substances (like vitamins, minerals, proteins, healthy fats, complex carbs etc.) that a healthier snack can provide.

Answer:

B. nutrients
