a. fruits
b. dairy
c. protein
d. vegetables

Explanation:

Almonds are seeds of the almond tree but are classified in the protein food group (along with nuts, legumes, etc.) for dietary purposes. Fruits are typically fleshy/seed - bearing structures (almonds aren't categorized as fruits in food groups here), dairy is milk - based products, and vegetables are plant parts like roots/leaves. So almonds belong to the protein group.

Answer:

C. protein
