Remember the acronym "ADEK" to easily recall the fat-soluble vitamins: Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, and Vitamin K. All other vitamins are generally water-soluble.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To identify fat-soluble vitamins, we must first differentiate their properties from water-soluble vitamins.

• Fat-Soluble Vitamins: These vitamins are absorbed with dietary fats and can be stored in body fat. Examples include Vitamins A, D, E, and K.
• Water-Soluble Vitamins: These are not stored by the body and require frequent intake. They encompass the Vitamin B-complex (e.g., B₁, B₂, B₁₂) and Vitamin C.

Considering the provided options:

• Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin.
• Vitamin K is also a fat-soluble vitamin.
• Vitamin B₁ and B₁₂: Both are water-soluble vitamins.
• Vitamin C: This is a water-soluble vitamin.

Therefore, the correct selection is C and E Only, representing Vitamin E and Vitamin K, both of which are fat-soluble.

Summary: Fat-soluble vitamins are those that can be stored by the body, including Vitamins A, D, E, and K. From the given choices, only Vitamin E and Vitamin K are classified as fat-soluble.
