Solution

The information in the table suggests that adult males have a higher energy requirement than young males, which can be interpreted as option B: "adult males need to do more work than children". This is because the energy requirement is directly related to the amount of physical activity and metabolic processes that take place in the body. The more active a person is, the more energy they require. Therefore, it can be inferred that adult males, who have higher energy requirements, are likely to be more active or have more metabolic processes occurring in their bodies than young males.

Option A is incorrect because the table clearly shows different energy requirements for different age groups.

Option C is also incorrect because the table shows that adult males require more energy (calories) than young males, not the other way around.

Option D might be misleading. While it's true that carbohydrates are a major source of energy and someone with higher energy requirements might need more carbohydrates, the table doesn't provide specific information about nutrient requirements. Therefore, we can't make a definitive conclusion about carbohydrate intake based on this table alone.
