Correct Answer:
D. E
Selenium is an essential trace element that functions as a powerful antioxidant in the body. It works synergistically with Vitamin E, another potent antioxidant, to protect cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. This partnership is crucial for maintaining cellular integrity and supporting immune function.
- Vitamin A is vital for vision, immune function, and cell growth, but does not have this direct synergistic antioxidant relationship with selenium.
- Vitamin B complex vitamins are involved in metabolism and energy production.
- Vitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidant, but its primary synergistic partner in antioxidant defense is not selenium in the same way as Vitamin E.
