Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The major minerals are those that the body needs in large amounts, typically more than 100 mg per day. The three minerals listed in choice C - calcium, potassium, and magnesium - are all considered major minerals. While the minerals listed in the other choices (e.g. iron, zinc, copper) are still important, they are typically needed in smaller amounts, and are therefore classified as trace minerals.
