Solution

The correct option is C Vitamin D
Vitamin D helps the body to take up the calcium for the development of the bones and the teeth. It helps strengthen bones and teeth by helping to efficiently absorb calcium and phosphate. Even if there is sufficient calcium in the body, it will go waste if there is a deficiency of vitamin D.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
