Question #2
Consider statements about vitamins: 1. Vitamin A is fat-soluble. 2. Vitamin C is water-soluble. 3. Vitamin D is synthesized in the skin. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 2 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Vitamins are classified by their solubility. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble, meaning they are absorbed with dietary fats and can be stored in the body's liver and fatty tissues. Vitamins B-complex and C are water-soluble, meaning they dissolve in water and are generally not stored in significant amounts. Vitamin D (cholecalciferol) is unique because it can be synthesized endogenously in the skin when exposed to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation from sunlight. All statements are correct.
