Question

Assertion (A): Vitamin D cannot be stored in our body. Reason (R): Vitamin D is fat-soluble vitamin and is not excreted from the body in urine.

• A. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
• B. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
• C. Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
• D. Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

Hint:

Remember that fat-soluble vitamins like Vitamin D, A, E, and K are stored in the liver and fatty tissues, whereas water-soluble vitamins are not stored and are excreted in urine.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin and gets stored in the body, unlike water-soluble vitamins. Hence, Assertion (A) is correct.
However, Vitamin D is not excreted from the body in urine; instead, it is stored in fat and liver. This makes Reason (R) false.
Step 2: Thus, the correct answer is option (3).
