Answer

Explanation
Solution
There are two types of vitamins : water soluble and fat soluble. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is a water soluble vitamin that is necessary for normal growth and development. The body is not able to make vitamin C on its own, and does not store vitamin C because vitamin C being water soluble dissolves in water and is eliminated out from the body through urine.
