Respuesta :

Answer:

C) fortified

Explanation:

Fortified foods are foods that contain extra micronutrients (i.e. vitamins and minerals) which have been added to them in order to improve nutrition values and health benefits. Fortified foods have significantly reduced dietary deficiencies in people around the world. Some examples of fortified foods are noodles fortified with iron or milk fortified with vitamin D and extra calcium. The two main methodologies of food fortification are 1-industrial (e.g., cornflakes with artificially added iron) and 2-biofortification (e.g., crop improvement, livestock improvement).
