Question:

Which of the following pairs of 'mineral - source' is  correct ?

I. Vitamin A - Papaya

II. Iron - Spinach

Options:

Both I and II

Neither I nor II

Only I 

Only II

Correct Answer:

Both I and II

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1)-  Both I and II

You are right!  Both I and II are correct pairings of mineral - source.

  • Iron - Spinach (Correct): Spinach is a well-known source of dietary iron, an essential mineral for oxygen transport and red blood cell production.
  • Vitamin A - Papaya (Correct): Papaya is a rich source of beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A, which is crucial for vision, immunity, and cell growth.
  • While vitamin A is essential, it's not technically a mineral. Minerals are inorganic elements required by the body, whereas vitamins are organic compounds needed in small amounts for various bodily functions.
