How many water-soluble vitamins are identified in the material?

• A. One
• B. Two
• C. Three
• D. Four

Answer: (B)

Water-soluble vitamins are the ones that dissolve in water and are not stored in the body in large amounts, so they need to be consumed regularly and are excreted in urine. The material being referenced explicitly identifies two vitamins in this group, often illustrating with vitamin C and a B vitamin. Because the material’s scope is limited to these two examples rather than listing every water-soluble vitamin, the count shown is two. In contrast, fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) are stored in body tissues, which is a different aspect the material isn’t focusing on here.
