D.insoluble organic iron
ANSWER- A.soluble inorganic iron.
EXPLANATION- the inorganic form of iron is also call the non heam type of iron. Non-heme iron is derived from plants and iron-fortified foods and is less-well absorbed. so when we take vitamic C with it, there is very high rate of absrption when comapred to heam type of iron or the organic type of iron which has good absorption rate compared with non heam ones.. The soluble of iron type is because the vitamin C is water soluble vitamin. insoluble type of iron will not absorb with vitamin C.
GOOD LUCK!
