The correct option is C Skin
Vitamin D actually functions more like a hormone than a vitamin. Hormones are synthesized in our bodies and are effective at locations remote from the site of synthesis whereas vitamins must be obtained from nutrition. Very few foods contain vitamin D. Synthesis of vitamin-D occurs in the skin and dermal synthesis of vitamin D from cholesterol is dependent on sun exposure (specifically UV-B radiation).
