Explanation:

Total daily energy expenditure includes basal metabolic rate, physical - activity energy expenditure, and the thermic effect of food. The thermic effect of food is the energy cost of digesting, absorbing, and processing nutrients in food, which directly contributes to total daily energy expenditure. Water intake, vitamin consumption, and mineral composition do not directly contribute to energy expenditure in the same way.

Answer:

B. thermic effect of food
