Answer» Only I Only II Only III Only IV Solution :Certain ORGANIC compounds are required in the small amounts in our diet but their deficiency causes SPECIFIC diseases. These compounds are called vitamins. Most of the vitamins cannot be synthesised in our body but PLANTS can synthesise almost all of them, so they are considered as essential food factors. However, the bacteria of the gut can produce some of the vitamins required by us. All of the vitamins are generally available in our diet. Vitamins are necessary to PERFORM specific biological functions for normal maintenance of optimum growth and health·of the ORGANISMS.
