The correct answer is D. Dates.

Glycemic index is termed as the ranking of carbohydrates in food in order to show how the levels of blood glucose i being affected.

Carbohydrates which are slowly metabolised, absorbed, and digested are low in glycemic index.

For example, nuts, beans, some vegetables and fruits and pasta. The high glycemic index include short grain rices, white bread, and potatoes.

For a person to lower his or her glycemic index should go for fiber, go easy with potatoes and avoid heavily processed foods.
