Correct answer: D

  1. Key concept: Fat-soluble vs water-soluble vitamins

    Vitamins are broadly classified into:

    • Fat-soluble vitamins: A,D,E,KA, D, E, KA,D,E,K
    • Water-soluble vitamins: B-complex vitamins and CCC

    Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the liver and fatty tissues for relatively long durations, whereas water-soluble vitamins are not stored significantly and are excreted more easily.

  2. Identify each vitamin in the options

    • Thiamine === Vitamin B1B_1B1​ r water-soluble
    • Ascorbic acid === Vitamin CCC r water-soluble
    • Vitamin A r fat-soluble
    • Vitamin D r fat-soluble
  3. Evaluate each option

    A: Thiamine and Vitamin A

    • Thiamine is water-soluble
    • Vitamin A is fat-soluble
    • Only one is stored for longer duration
    • So, this pair is not correct

    B: Ascorbic acid and Vitamin D

    • Ascorbic acid is water-soluble
    • Vitamin D is fat-soluble
    • Only one is stored for longer duration
    • So, this pair is not correct

    C: Thiamine and Ascorbic acid

    • Both are water-soluble
    • These are not stored for long durations in the body
    • So, this pair is not correct

    D: Vitamin A and Vitamin D

    • Both are fat-soluble
    • Both are stored in the body for relatively longer duration
    • So, this pair is correct
  4. Final answer

    The correct option is: D: Vitamin A and Vitamin D\boxed{D\text{: Vitamin A and Vitamin D}}D: Vitamin A and Vitamin D​

  5. Comparison with stored correct answer

    Stored correct answer: DDD

    My derived answer is also DDD, so they agree.
