  • Options
  • A. Vitamin C
  • B. Vitamin A
  • C. Vitamin D
  • D. Vitamin K

  • Correct Answer
  • Vitamin C 

    Explanation

    A vitamin is an organic molecule that is an essential micronutrient that an organism needs in small quantities for the proper functioning of its metabolism.

    There are 13 essential vitamins that our body need. They are categorized into 

    1. Water soluble

    2. Fat soluble

    Water-soluble vitamins dissolve in water, which means these vitamins and nutrients dissolve quickly in the body. Unlike fat-soluble vitamins, water-soluble vitamins are carried to the body?s tissues, but the body cannot store them.

    Water-soluble vitamins are Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5, B12, B6, B7 & B9 and Vitamin C.


    Fat-soluble vitamins are soluble in fats. They are absorbed by fat globules that travel through the small intestines and into the general blood circulation within the body. Unlike water-soluble vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body when they are not in use.

    Fat-soluble vitamins are - Vitamin A, D, E and K.
