A
In fruits
B
In your body
C
In the air
D
In the sun
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed along with fats in the diet and are stored in the body’s fatty tissue and in the liver. They are found in many plant and animal foods and in dietary supplements. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Fat-soluble vitamins are quite the opposite. These vitamins dissolve in fat and are stored in tissue, so the body has access to them as needed. This means that it would be easier to absorb more fat-soluble vitamins than you really need, since they aren’t being removed by the kidneys after the need is met.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fat-soluble vitamins (which dissolve in fat), such as vitamins A, D, E and K, are stored in the liver and the body’s fatty tissues when you consume more than you need. Because of this, you don’t have to ingest them every day, and, in some cases, weeks or even months can pass before stores are depleted.
