Correct Answer: 1


Solution : The appropriate answer is the first option as there's an error in the usage of the preposition. In this sentence, the preposition 'of' should not be used with 'comprises' which means 'composed of' thus not conveying the proper meaning.

Therefore, the correct statement should be "Balanced diet comprises water, roughage and other nutritional values."
