A. Corpus callosum
B. Meninges
C. Pineal gland
D. Choroid plexus
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The choroid plexus, located in the ventricles of the brain, is a network of capillaries and ependymal cells that secretes cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). CSF cushions the brain, removes waste, and maintains chemical environment. Meninges are protective coverings, corpus callosum connects hemispheres, pineal secretes melatonin.

Question #2
Consider statements about vitamins: 1. Vitamin A is fat-soluble. 2. Vitamin C is water-soluble. 3. Vitamin D is synthesized in the skin. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Vitamins are classified by their solubility. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble, meaning they are absorbed with dietary fats and can be stored in the body's liver and fatty tissues. Vitamins B-complex and C are water-soluble, meaning they dissolve in water and are generally not stored in significant amounts. Vitamin D (cholecalciferol) is unique because it can be synthesized endogenously in the skin when exposed to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation from sunlight. All statements are correct.
