Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (c) vitamin C

Explanation

Milk is rich in calcium, protein (casein), fat, and the carbohydrate lactose, plus vitamins A, D and B12.

It contains almost no Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), making it a poor source of that vitamin.

Vitamin C is mainly obtained from citrus fruits and fresh vegetables, not dairy.
