Correct Option: A
Milk is a poor source of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C). It contains about 1 mg ascorbate per 100 g. Even the little Vitamin C is usually destroyed when the milk is heat treated. The richest sources of ascorbic acid are fruits and vegetables. Milk is a good source of retinol and thiamin.
