Ans: C
Feedback:
Negative nitrogen balance represents more excretion of nitrogen than consumed as protein. It represents a state of tissue breakdown. Positive nitrogen balance is when more protein (nitrogen) is consumed than is needed or excreted. A normal nitrogen balance is when protein intake is equivalent to nitrogen output.
