Explanation by: Official MCQ Buddy

Milk is often considered a nearly complete food because it contains proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals like calcium and phosphorus. However, it lacks sufficient amounts of iron and vitamin C, which are essential nutrients.

  • Iron is needed for hemoglobin production and preventing anemia. Milk contains very little iron, making it insufficient for iron requirements.
  • Vitamin C is important for immune function and iron absorption, but milk does not naturally contain it.

Thus, while milk is nutritious, it is not a fully balanced diet due to the absence of iron and vitamin C.
