Explanation

Rice is primarily a source of carbohydrates and contains very negligible amounts of calcium. In contrast, Ragi is one of the richest cereal sources of calcium. Skimmed milk and eggs are animal based sources that provide significant amounts of this mineral. Therefore, rice is considered a poor source of nutritional calcium compared to the other options.
