Question

o d. a banana
check my work

Explanation:

To improve iron absorption (especially non - heme iron, though pork has heme iron, vitamin C boosts iron absorption), red peppers are rich in vitamin C. Whole wheat noodles have phytic acid (inhibits iron absorption), milk has calcium (inhibits iron absorption), and a banana has less vitamin C compared to red peppers. So red peppers help with iron absorption from pork.

Answer:

a. Red peppers
