Explanation:

To determine essential nutrients:

• Most vitamins: Essential as body can’t synthesize all; must be obtained from diet.
• Eight of the amino acids: Essential amino acids (body can’t make them, need from food).
• All minerals: Not all minerals are essential (e.g., some trace minerals in non - essential amounts or non - essential minerals exist).
• All fatty acids: Not all; only essential fatty acids (like omega - 3, omega - 6) are essential, others can be synthesized.

Answer:

C. Most vitamins, D. Eight of the amino acids
