First Question (about the compound converting to active vitamin)
A precursor is a compound that can be converted into an active vitamin in the body. A predecessor is a thing that comes before, not related to vitamin conversion. A coenzyme is a non - protein part of an enzyme, not a vitamin precursor. An enzyme is a catalyst, not a vitamin precursor. An antivitamin opposes vitamin action. So the correct answer is precursor.
Beta - carotene is a carotenoid, and broccoli is a vegetable rich in beta - carotene. Medication is not a food. Salmon is rich in omega - 3 fatty acids, not beta - carotene. Milk is rich in calcium and vitamin D (fortified), not beta - carotene. Orange juice is rich in vitamin C, not beta - carotene. So the correct answer is broccoli.
