In which situation can home-cooked food also be imbalanced?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When it has too much oil, salt, and sugar
Home cooking can support healthy eating, but the healthfulness of a meal depends on its ingredients, quantities, preparation method, and overall variety. Excess oil increases energy density, while excessive salt and added sugar may negatively affect health when consumed regularly. Thus home-cooked food is not automatically balanced; option A correctly identifies a situation that can make it nutritionally imbalanced.
