Solution

The correct option is B Vitamin $D$
Vitamins B and C are water soluble. They are readily excreted in urine, have low toxicity and cannot be stored in body.
On the other hand, vitamin D dissolves in oils and fats and is stored in the body in liver and in tissues . If present in excess, vitamin D is toxic.
