Answer:

The correct answer is option is C. The vitamin is likely to dissolve in fat.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are only two type of vitamins. Fat soluble vitamins and water soluble vitamins.

Fat soluble vitamins are vitamin A, D, E, and K. They tend to be treated by the body as any other fat would be. They are highly consumed in fatty foods.

So according to the question, if a vitamin is not dissolving in water, it must a fat soluble vitamin.
