Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Milk is fortified with vitamin D which, when deficient, results in rickets or bowed legs. Children who do not drink milk every day are at risk for vitamin D deficiency. Meats, grains, and fruit consumption, or lack of, will not result in bowed legs.

Answer to Question 2

3, It is better if I take it with calcium; 5, I shouldn't consume too much because it can be stored in the liver

Rationale: Vitamin A, not vitamin D, is associated with night vision. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), not vitamin D, is associated with healthy gums. Vitamin D, when consumed with calcium, aids in the absorption and utilization of calcium by the bones. Antioxidants help repair cell damage, but vitamin D is not an antioxidant. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that can be stored in the liver and has the potential to become toxic if consumed in excess.
