A
Kidneys

pancreas
C
liver
D
heart
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body’s liver, fatty tissue, and muscles. The four fat-soluble vitamins are vitamins A, D, E, and K. These vitamins are absorbed more easily by the body in the presence of dietary fat. Water-soluble vitamins are not stored in the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the liver and in fatty tissues. If too much of the fat-soluble vitamins A or D is consumed, they can accumulate and may have harmful effects. Because fats in foods help the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins, a low-fat diet may result in a deficiency.

Detailed explanation-3: -The liver stores vitamins and minerals for the times when they may be lacking in the diet. It can store enough vitamin A and vitamin B12 for four years, and enough vitamin D for four months.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that is stored in the liver. There are two types of vitamin A that are found in the diet. Preformed vitamin A is found in animal products such as meat, fish, poultry, and dairy foods.

Detailed explanation-5: -Fat-soluble vitamins get stored in fat tissues and the liver. Your body squirrels away any excess you consume and doles it out gradually to meet your needs.
