Match the characteristic from Col. I with the Vitamins given in Col. II. Characteristics Vitamins A Water soluble that is not excreted easily W B₂ B Prevents Cheilosis X B₆ C Fat soluble Y B₁₂ D Prevents seizures and convulsions Z E

Step-by-step solution

Vitamin B₁₂ is a water-soluble vitamin but it is stored in the liver and is not excreted easily from the body. Thus, A matches Y. Deficiency of Vitamin B₂ (Riboflavin) causes cheilosis, which is the fissuring at the corners of the mouth and lips. Thus, B matches W. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble vitamins. Therefore, Vitamin E is fat-soluble. Thus, C matches Z. Deficiency of Vitamin B₆ (Pyridoxine) causes convulsions and seizures. Thus, D matches X. The correct matching is A - Y, B - W, C - Z, D - X.
