Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To determine which statements about Rutin are true, we will evaluate each statement individually:

1. Statement A: "Rutin is a Bioflavonoid."
   • Bioflavonoids, also known as flavonoids, are a class of plant secondary metabolites. Rutin, a type of flavonoid, is indeed classified as a bioflavonoid.
2. Statement B: "Rutin is a flavonol glycosides."
   • Rutin is classified as a flavonol, which is a type of flavonoid. Flavonols are known for their antioxidant properties. Rutin specifically is a glycoside combining a flavonol quercetin with the disaccharide rutinose.
3. Statement C: "Rutin is used in Capillary bleeding."
   • Rutin is known to strengthen blood vessels and is used to treat conditions involving capillary bleeding. It acts as an antioxidant and may help in improving vascular health and integrity.
4. Statement D: "Rutin is used as Vitamin P."
   • Vitamin P is a term historically used to refer to bioflavonoids, which include rutin. While not officially recognized as a vitamin, rutin is known for its role in maintaining capillary health, which is a function associated with Vitamin P.

After reviewing the statements, all four statements about Rutin are true, thus leading us to the correct option: All of these.
