Answer 1

Hint: Citrus limon or lemon, is a species of a small evergreen tree belonging to the flowering plant family Rutaceae. It mainly grows in the part of South Asia, primarily North eastern India. The juice of the lemon primarily contains 5% to 6% citric acid, with a pH of around 2.2, which gives it a sour taste.

Complete answer:
Lemons are rich in vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and antioxidants. Additionally, they are especially good sources of vitamin C and folate.
Vitamin C plays an important role in boosting immunity and helps neutralize free radicals in our bodies. Vitamin C is known to stimulate the production of white blood cells and protect the integrity of immune cells. Vitamin C also helps protect leukocytes in the body, which produces antiviral substances. Another component of lemon known as folic acid is said to aid in preventing strokes and may contribute to helping cardiovascular health by lowering homocysteine levels. Lemons are also well known for their antimicrobial properties.

Additional information:
Facts about vitamin C: Ascorbic acid or ascorbate also known as vitamin C, is an important vitamin that can be found in various nutriments and sold as a dietary supplement and is used to prevent and treat scurvy. Vitamin C is a vital nutrient involved in the repair of tissue and the enzymatic production of certain neurotransmitters in our body.
Only a quarter cup of lemon juice contains 31 percent of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C and 3 percent of folate and 2 percent of potassium that account for around 13 calories. On the other hand, a whole raw lemon contains 139 percent of the recommended daily vitamin C intake and has 22 calories.

So, the correct answer is Vitamin C.

Notes: In general, lemons are quite good for the human body, but if it is consumed in excess, it can cause gastric reflux problems or heartburn for those who suffer from the conditions. Additionally, the citric acid can corrode the enamel on your teeth. That’s why drinking lemon water through a straw is recommended.
