Explanation:

Infants have rapid - growing brains and bodies. Fatty acids, especially essential fatty acids like DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and AA (arachidonic acid), are crucial for brain and nervous system development, so infants require extra servings of fatty acids. Carbohydrates are a general energy source, dietary sugars are a form of carbohydrates, and while vitamin A is important for vision and immune function, fatty acids are more specifically needed in extra amounts for infant development.

Answer:

D. fatty acids
