Question 36

Antioxidant nutrients that scavenge free radicals: Vitamin C is a known antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals. Vitamin B₁₂ is for nerve function and blood cell formation, potassium is an electrolyte, chromium is for metabolism, and riboflavin (vitamin B₂) is for energy production—none are primary free - radical scavengers like vitamin C.

Diets rich in vegetables and fruits: Vegetables and fruits are rich in antioxidants, fiber, and phytochemicals that are associated with a reduced risk of cancer. Osteoporosis is related to calcium/vitamin D deficiency, lung disease is more related to smoking/air pollution, rickets is due to vitamin D/calcium deficiency, and toxicity is about excess of substances, not related to fruit/veg - rich diets.

Answer:

A. vitamin C
