Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

High levels of niacin lead to the painful flush. Vitamin B6 toxicity is responsible for the skin lesions, and the behavioral symptoms and the numbness. Although the other B vitamins do not have toxicity symptoms reported, the interdependence of the vitamins on one another could lead to additional health problems that may be undetected at this early point.
