A
TRUE
B
FALSE
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vitamins and minerals are micronutrients required by the body to carry out a range of normal functions. However, these micronutrients are not produced in our bodies and must be derived from the food we eat.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vitamins and minerals play a different kind of role in energy metabolism; they are required as functional parts of enzymes involved in energy release and storage. The water-soluble B vitamins are involved as coenzymes in the breakdown of nutrients and in the building of macromolecules, such as protein, RNA, and DNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -Do vitamins speed up metabolism? Vitamins do not speed up metabolism unless your dietary intake of essential nutrients is inadequate. In this case, taking multivitamins may meet your body’s nutrients needs, allowing your metabolism to function more efficiently.

Detailed explanation-4: -Most vitamins need to come from food because the body either does not produce them or produces very little. Each organism has different vitamin requirements. For example, humans need to get vitamin C from their diets-while dogs can produce all the vitamin C that they need.
