Which vitamin is fat-soluble?

Explanation:
Fat-soluble vitamins dissolve in fat and are absorbed with dietary lipids, then stored in the liver and adipose tissue. This storage ability is what distinguishes them from water-soluble vitamins. Vitamin A fits this pattern, making it the representative fat-soluble vitamin among the options. (For contrast, vitamins C and B12 are water-soluble and are not stored to the same extent, while vitamin D is also fat-soluble as another example.)
