Explanation:

Snacking helps in maintaining blood glucose levels. After a meal, blood glucose rises, then it starts to decline as the body uses glucose for energy. Snacking provides a small amount of carbohydrates (which are broken down into glucose) to prevent a significant drop in blood glucose levels between main meals. Protein intake (B) is more about building and repairing tissues, fat intake (C) is for energy storage and other functions like hormone production (in a broader sense), and while carbs are broken down to glucose, the key concept here is the end - product (glucose) that affects the body's energy - related balance.

Answer:

A. blood glucose levels
