Solution

The correct option is C Skin
  • Human skin can make large amounts of vitamin D when lots of skin is exposed to the sun.
  • Your body is designed to get the vitamin D it needs by producing it when your bare skin is exposed to sunlight.
  • The part of the sun's rays that is important is ultraviolet B (UVB). Hence, skin is the organ of the human body that produces vitamin D.
So, the correct answer is 'skin'.
