QUESTION
Which of the following vitamins is having hormone like properties?
OPTIONS
(A) Vitamin C
(B) Vitamin D
(C) Vitamin E
(D) Vitamin A
ANSWER
(B) Vitamin D
EXPLANATION
Vitamin D is the correct option because vitamin D is biologically activated through hydroxylation to form calcitriol, a hormone-like steroid compound that regulates calcium and phosphorus homeostasis. Vitamins C and E are water-soluble and antioxidant vitamins, respectively, while vitamin A has hormone-like actions in some contexts but is not the intended answer here.
