A. The SunExplanation
Vitamin D can be obtained from the sun because when our skin is exposed to sunlight, it produces vitamin D.

Therefore, spending time in the sun is an important way to ensure our bodies receive an adequate amount of vitamin D.Rate this question:

Destroys Vitamin C
-
Destroys Folic Acid
Correct Answer
A. Destroys Folic AcidExplanation
Sunlight destroys folic acid. Folic acid is a water-soluble vitamin that is sensitive to light. When exposed to sunlight, folic acid molecules can break down and become inactive. This is why it is recommended to store folic acid supplements in a cool, dark place to maintain their potency. Additionally, cooking foods rich in folic acid for too long or at high temperatures can also lead to the degradation of this vitamin. Therefore, it is important to handle and store folic acid-containing substances properly to prevent their destruction by sunlight.Rate this question:
