Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Telenutrition is specifically defined as the use of electronic information and telecommunications technologies for the purpose of implementing the Nutrition Care Process with patients at a remote location. Telehealth is a broader term that includes the use of these technologies for various aspects of healthcare, not just nutrition. Telemedicine is specifically the use of these technologies for medical purposes, which may or may not include nutrition. Clinical dietetics and dietetics practice are more general terms that encompass all aspects of nutrition care, not just those conducted via electronic means.
