The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion-reason question regarding fat-soluble vitamins, we will analyze both the assertion and the reason step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that vitamins A, D, E, and K dissolve in fat and are absorbed with fat from the small intestine. - **Analysis**: This is true. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are indeed classified as fat-soluble vitamins, which means they require fat for absorption and dissolve in fat. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body, particularly in the liver. - **Analysis**: This is also true. Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the liver and adipose tissues, allowing the body to utilize them when needed. 3. **Evaluating the Relationship**: - We need to determine if the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. - **Analysis**: While both statements are true, the reason does not explain why the assertion is true. The assertion discusses the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, while the reason discusses their storage. They are related but do not provide a cause-and-effect relationship. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason does not correctly explain the assertion, we conclude that the correct answer is that both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion. ### Final Answer: - The correct option is: **Assertion is true, Reason is true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.** ---
