a. normal functioning of only a few organs

Explanation:

Nutrition refers to the action of harnessing nutrients obtained from food. It is a biological process through which nutrients that our body needs for the proper growth and development of vital functions are absorbed from food and liquids.

Nutrition also refers to the study of the relationship between food, health, and the creation of a balanced diet combined with regular physical exercise.

With a good diet, many of the common diseases or propensities to have a certain disease, such as diabetes, can be avoided or otherwise relieved. Nutrition scholars study what are the main nutrients that cannot be lacking in a healthy diet.

To have an adequate diet, we must meet the following requirements:

- That energy enters the body through the absorption of nutrients such as proteins, fats and carbohydrates. They are necessary for the organism, since they are spent in high amounts through physical activity and the expense induced by the diet.

- The entry into the body of vitamins and minerals, non-energy nutrients.

- Drink approximately two liters of water per day, keeping our body well hydrated.

- Eat enough high fiber foods.

The answer to the question is "a" since nutrition as we explain well is not only responsible for the functioning of some organs but is responsible for the proper functioning of all organs.
