Solution

The correct option is C Both the statements are correct
Vitamins B and C are water-soluble while vitamins A, D, E and K are fat-soluble vitamins. Water soluble vitamins are easily lost while cooking.
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin found in fruits and vegetables like oranges, strawberries, broccoli, tomatoes and green peppers.
Washing the vegetables after cutting them can lead to the loss of the water soluble vitamins. Therefore, it is recommended to wash the vegetables before they are cut.
