Solution

The B group vitamins that can be stored in our body are Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12. So, the correct options are (c) Vitamin B6 and (d) Vitamin B12.

Here's why:

  1. Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) and Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) are water-soluble vitamins. This means they are not stored in large amounts in the body. Instead, any excess amount of these vitamins that the body doesn't need immediately is excreted through urine.

  2. Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) and Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin), on the other hand, are also water-soluble vitamins but they are an exception to the rule. They can be stored in the liver in small amounts for a long time.

So, while all B vitamins are essential for your health, only Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12 can be stored in the body.
