Question:

Which of the following is a water-soluble vitamin?

Options:

Vitamin A

Vitamin C

Vitamin K

Vitamin D

Correct Answer:

Vitamin C

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2)- Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin. Water-soluble vitamins dissolve in water and are not stored in the body to the same extent as fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin A, D, E, and K. Instead, they are easily absorbed into the bloodstream and any excess amounts are excreted in urine. Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, plays essential roles in various bodily functions, including collagen synthesis, immune function, wound healing, and antioxidant defense. It is found in many fruits and vegetables, such as citrus fruits, strawberries, bell peppers, and broccoli.
