Consider the following statements :

A. Vitamins are examples of Macronutrients that human body needs.
B. Folic Acid is a type of Micronutrient needed by the body.

Choose the correct answer from the codes below :

  • A.Only A is correct.
  • B.Only B is correct.
  • C.Both A and B are correct.
  • D.Neither A nor B is correct.

Answer: B

The answer is Only B is correct.

Macronutrients are needed in large amounts: carbohydrates, proteins and fats (and water). Vitamins and minerals are needed in small amounts and are micronutrients, so Statement A is wrong.

Folic acid (vitamin B9) is a micronutrient needed for making DNA and red blood cells and for preventing neural tube defects in the developing foetus, so Statement B is correct.
