Answer:

Option). can be stored in the body's fat tissue.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vitamins are essential micronutrients, required by organisms for the proper functioning of body.

Abnormally high levels of vitamins in the body due to mega doses of vitamins can leads to a condition with toxic symptoms, known as hypervitaminosis. It is caused by storage of vitamins (mainly fat soluble vitamins, such as vitamin D and A) in the fat tissues of body.

Thus, the correct answer is first option.
