Solution

The correct option is C Folic Acid
Folic acid is unsafe when taken by mouth in large doses, long-term. High doses of folic acid can cause abdominal cramps, diarrhea, rash, sleep disorders, irritability, confusion, nausea, stomach upset and other side effects. Vitamin C and D are not that dangerous as folic acid if taken for long time. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
