Solution
Vitamin B and C
Explanation:
Water-soluble vitamins include all the B vitamins and vitamin C. The amount of water-soluble vitamins that the body doesn’t use passes through the kidneys and leaves the body as urine or stool. The body needs water-soluble vitamins in frequent, small doses, and they are unlikely to reach toxic levels.
