Which vitamin is involved in red blood cell formation, neurological function and DNA synthesis?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Vitamin B12.

Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, plays a crucial role in red blood cell formation, neurological function, and DNA synthesis. It is essential for the production of healthy red blood cells, preventing anemia. Vitamin B12 also supports the maintenance of the nervous system, aiding in the formation of myelin, which insulates nerve fibers and facilitates communication between nerve cells. Additionally, it is vital for DNA synthesis, ensuring proper cell division and growth. Deficiency in B12 can lead to serious health issues, including neurological disorders and impaired red blood cell production.
