IMO A

According to me this is a parallelism issue.

would go for D.
A, B and E are out as it is the food that provides energy, atheletes do not provide energy.
C is not parallel

The answer is A. but i am wondering the reason for it. Even i had marked D thinking that it is the food "that" provides energy

why choose A over B

i.e, why food for providing enough energy is wrong?

Received a PM asking me to respond - I don't see a source cited, though. Please remember to cite the author so that the experts can respond!

A quick comment though: the "to provide" vs. "for providing" issue is an idiom. In this context, think of "to provide" as meaning "in order to provide": so "athletes must consume highly nutritious food <in order> to provide..."
but not
"athletes must consume highly nutritious food <in order> for providing..."

That might make it a little easier to remember the idiom (though maybe not - maybe it's just something you'll have to memorize :()
Please note: I do not use the Private Messaging system! I will not see any PMs that you send to me!!
