Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Zinc can interfere with antibiotic absorption and should be taken at least 2 hours after taking the antibiotic.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Vitamin B12 is essential for DNA synthesis and aids in the conversion of folic acid to its active form and is also needed for the development of red blood cells. It does not directly improve energy level and does not affect iron loss or iron absorption.
