Question

Assertion (A): Vitamin C cannot be stored in our body.
Reason (R): Vitamin C is water soluble and excreted in urine.

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

Hint:

Water soluble vitamins → no storage → must replenish daily.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Due to its water-soluble nature, excess Vitamin C is expelled via urine and therefore not accumulated in body fat or tissues. This necessitates daily intake, as the body does not store it. This daily requirement directly supports the assertion that Vitamin C is not stored.
