Answer to Question 1

ANS: Fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamins A, D, E, and K, are stored in your body and need dietary fat to be absorbed properly. They can accumulate to the point of toxicity if your intake is excessive. Water-soluble vitamins, such as vitamins B and C, are absorbed in water and typically aren't stored for extended periods. Excess amounts of water-soluble vitamins do not accumulate to toxic levels but can be harmful if you habitually consume too much.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
