### Understanding Nutrients and Their Identification

Nutrients are made up of smaller basic units. These nutrients can be identified through specific food tests.

#### Question:
Which nutrient is a protein?

#### Provided Data:
A table is given, listing nutrients with their smaller basic units and the food tests used to identify them. 

| **Nutrient** | **Smaller Basic Units** | **Food Test**       |
|-------------|-------------------------|---------------------|
| A           | amino acids             | Benedict's test     |
| B           | amino acids             | Biuret test         |
| C           | sugars                  | Benedict's test     |
| D           | sugars                  | Biuret test         |

#### Options:
- A
- B
- C
- D

**Explanation:**
- Proteins are made up of amino acids.
- The Biuret test is used to identify proteins.

Given this information, option **B** indicates the presence of a protein since it lists amino acids as smaller basic units and uses the Biuret test for identification.
