Explanation:

• First question: B vitamins support nervous system function, convert food into energy, and help metabolic processes. Building muscle mass is not a key function.

• Third question: Alcohol consumption, high - heat cooking, and exposure to ultraviolet light can destroy B vitamins. Consuming raw vegetables does not.

1. Building muscle mass
2. Pellagra
3. Consuming raw vegetables
