Soluble in water, Not stored to any extent in the human body (Vitamins C, and almost all B)

• A. Fat Soluble Features
• B. Two Types of Vitamins
• C. Mineral Features
• D. Water Soluble Features

Answer: (D)

Water-soluble vitamins are defined by two main traits: they dissolve in water and the body does not store them in meaningful amounts. Vitamins C and the B vitamins fit this group. Because they aren’t stored, they must be consumed regularly through diet or supplements to maintain adequate levels. Any excess is typically excreted in urine, which is why deficiencies can develop relatively quickly if intake is insufficient. This contrasts with fat-soluble vitamins that dissolve in fats and are stored in the liver and fat tissues, leading to different patterns of availability and toxicity risk. Minerals are a separate category and aren’t described by this water-soluble storage pattern.
