    Question

    Select the INCORRECT statement with regards to vitamins.

    A Plants can synthesise almost all vitamins. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Vitamins are organic compounds. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Some bacteria in the gut do not produce vitamins. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Most of the vitamins cannot get synthesised in sufficient amount in our body. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Option-3. This statement is misleading or incorrect depending on interpretation. The majority of bacteria in the gut actually do produce vitamins; this is one of their important contributions to human health. For example, gut bacteria are known to produce B vitamins and vitamin K. The way this statement is phrased suggests an exception to a general rule, but the general rule itself is that gut bacteria are significant producers of vitamins.
