Correct Answer: A


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

We know that "an" is used before words that begin with a vowel sound, and "a" is used before words that begin with a consonant sound. It's not strictly about the written letter, but the sound that follows.

In the given sentence, the word "important" starts with a vowel sound ("i"). So, it should be "an important source", not "a important source."

Therefore, the grammatically correct sentence is: "Vegetables are an important source of energy. A balanced diet must include vegetables."
