    The repeated washing of fruits and vegetables might

    remove
    A vitamins and minerals Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B proteins Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C All of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Repeated washing leaches water-soluble vitamins (B-complex, vitamin C) and minerals (e.g., potassium) from produce. Proteins are not significantly affected as they are structural components of cells, not dissolved in water.
