What is the largest component present in breast milk?

  1. Minerals

  2. Fat

  3. Protein

  4. Water

The correct answer is: Water

Water is the correct answer because it is the largest component present in breast milk. Breast milk is predominantly composed of water, which makes up around 87% of its total volume. This is essential for keeping the baby hydrated and aiding in digestion. While minerals, fats, and proteins are also important components of breast milk, water is the most abundant component and plays a crucial role in supporting the overall health and development of the baby.
