Answer: Option A is the correct answer because rice granules are source of carbohydrates and oil is a source of lipids.

Explanation:

Egg albumin is a translucent protein which denatures and loses shape and texture in high temperatures. The protein uncoils and tangles together because heat disrupts the peptide bonds that polymerize amino acids, thus boiled egg's albumin turns white and shifts from liquid to solid state.
