Which statement correctly describes fat soluble vitamins?

• A. They are stored in fatty tissues
• B. They must be consumed daily
• C. They are excreted quickly
• D. They are water soluble

Answer: (A)

Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in fatty tissues and the liver, which is why the body can draw on these stores over time instead of needing daily intake. They’re absorbed with dietary fats and require bile to help with their digestion, which ties their availability to fat intake. Because they can accumulate in the body, they aren’t excreted quickly and excess amounts can lead to toxicity if consumed in large amounts. They are not water-soluble, which would mean rapid excretion in urine. So the statement that they are stored in fatty tissues captures their defining behavior.
