Why each option

The four fat-soluble vitamins are A, D, E, and K - they require dietary fat for absorption and are stored in body fat and liver tissue.

AA, B, C, D

Vitamin B and Vitamin C are water-soluble, not fat-soluble, making this grouping incorrect.

BA, D, E, KCorrect

Vitamins A, D, E, and K are classified as fat-soluble because they dissolve in lipids and require fat for intestinal absorption. Unlike water-soluble vitamins (B-complex and C), these vitamins are stored in adipose tissue and the liver, making toxicity from excess intake possible.

CA, B, D, E

The B vitamins are water-soluble and do not belong in the fat-soluble category.

DA, C, D, K

Vitamin C is water-soluble and is not stored in fat tissue, so it does not belong in this group.
