Answer:

The correct option is D.  "Don't worry; fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body. It takes a lot longer than one day to develop any adverse effects.

Explanation:

Fat-soluble vitamins can be described as those vitamins that can dissolve in fats and can be stored in the body in the form of fat-soluble vitamins. Energy is stored in the body for long terms in the form of fats.

The body does not require vitamins A, D, E and K regularly hence, they are stored in the fat tissues. Depletion of these vitamins in the diet for a day would not cause any adverse effects.

zalisa [80]

The period of Convalescence is the time during which the person regains health and fully recovers.

Explanation:

  • Diseases that can spread from one person to other  are called infectious disease.
  • Disease development is divided into Incubation period, Prodromal period, period of illness, Decline period, and period of Convalescence.
  • During incubation period the pathogen enters the host body and starts multiplying itself. But the signs of diseases are unnoticeable.
  • Then comes  the prodromal period, when the pathogen keeps multiplying itself and some signs of disease are observed but they are not obvious
  • After the prodromal period comes the period of illness when the patient exhibits obvious signs of sickness.
  • As the period of illness is over the symptoms of disease start to cease and the the number of pathogen decrease in body.This period is the period of decline.
  • Finally comes the period of Convalescence when the person returns to his pre-disease state and is completely healthy. (except irreversible damage caused by the disease)
