Rationale: The correct answer is D because starch, fiber, and sugar are all sources of carbohydrates. Starchy foods like bread, rice, and potatoes contain starch; fruits, vegetables, and whole grains provide fiber; and sugars are found in sweet foods like fruits, honey, and desserts. Fatty acids and amino acids are not sources of carbohydrates, so choices A, B, and C are correct while choices A and B are incorrect.

5. Each of the following is a form of vitamin K, except one. Which is the exception?

• A. Phylloquinone
• B. Tocopherol

Rationale: Tocopherol, Choice B, is not a form of vitamin K; it is another name for vitamin E. Phylloquinone (Choice A), menaquinone (Choice C), and menadione (Choice D) are all forms of vitamin K. Phylloquinone is vitamin K1 found in green plants, menaquinone is vitamin K2 produced in the large intestine and found in animal tissues, and menadione is a synthetic form of vitamin K. Therefore, Choice B is the correct answer because it does not belong to the vitamin K group, unlike the other options.
