• B. Leafy green vegetables and legumes, seeds, orange juice, and liver
• C. Now added to most refined grains
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Folic acid (folate) is a B vitamin found in a range of foods, both naturally and through fortification. Naturally rich sources include leafy green vegetables, legumes, seeds, and liver, with orange juice also providing folate. Many refined grains are fortified with folic acid to help prevent neural tube defects. Some yogurts and other fortified products may also contain folic acid. Because this nutrient appears in all these categories, all of the above is the best answer.
