According to the USDA, the five food groups are:

1. Fruits
2. Vegetables
3. Grains
4. Protein (which includes meat, poultry, fish, eggs, nuts, and seeds)
5. Dairy

Based on your options, the following are considered one of the five food groups:

- Dairy
- Meat (part of the Protein group)
- Vegetables
- Grains
- Fruits

"Wheat" is not a food group on its own but is included under grains, and "Proteins" is a category that encompasses various protein sources. "Milk" is part of the Dairy group but isn't listed as a separate food group.
