Explanation:

Carbohydrates are the body's main energy source. Slow - absorbing carbs (complex carbohydrates) are digested more gradually, providing a sustained release of energy over a longer period. This is ideal for an activity that lasts all weekend like a baseball tournament. Fats are a long - term energy store but are not the immediate energy source for intense physical activity. Proteins are mainly for building and repairing tissues. Fast - absorbing carbs (simple carbohydrates) give a quick energy boost but may lead to an energy crash soon after.

Answer:

D. Slow - absorbing carbs
