Answer 2

Answer is B. When we include option A, you should always increase tyrosine in our diet but not decrease it. When we include option C no matter how much amount of phenyl alanine is in our diet it cannot be metabolised into tyrosine. So the correct option is B. A distinct odour comes from the body because of a disorder in aromatic amino acid metabolism
