Solution
The correct option is B Sunshine vitamin
Human skin can synthesize Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight (especially early morning). When the sun rays falls on the skin dehydrocholesterol is converted into Vitamin D. Hence, Vitamin D is called as Sunshine vitamin. Vitamin D improves bone strength by helping body to absorb calcium.
