Explanation
If they believe the benefits of the energy-producing ingredients increase proportionally, the athletes would want to eat more of the energy bars, so you need a word that means something like plentiful. Both scant and measured are nearly the opposite of what you’re looking for, so eliminate choices (A) and (E). Neither furtive, which means stealthy, nor solvent, which means capable of paying debts, makes sense in the blank, so eliminate choices (B) and (D).
Both copious and profuse can mean plentiful, so choices (C) and (F) give you appropriate, equivalent sentences.
Hence options C and F is correct!
