Which of the following pairs of 'mineral–source' is correct?
I. Vitamin A – Papaya
II. Iron – Spinach

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Both I and II.

I. Vitamin A – Papaya: Papaya is a rich source of vitamin A, primarily in the form of beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A. This vitamin is essential for vision, immune function, and skin health.

II. Iron – Spinach: Spinach is a well-known source of non-heme iron, which is important for oxygen transport in the blood. While iron from plant sources is less easily absorbed, consuming spinach with vitamin C-rich foods can enhance absorption.
