Solution

An incomplete protein lacks one or more essential amino acids.

Here's why:

Proteins are made up of amino acids, and there are 20 different types that can be combined to make a protein. Your body can produce 11 of these amino acids, but the other 9 — which are called essential amino acids — must come from the food you eat.

Proteins that contain all nine essential amino acids are called complete proteins. If a protein is missing one or more of these essential amino acids, it is considered incomplete.

So, the correct answer to your question is b. Essential amino acids.
