2. Which vitamin deficiency can lead to kidney stones?

• A. Vitamin A
• B. Vitamin B12
• C. Vitamin D
• D. Vitamin K

Correct answer: D

• B. The control group accidentally received some fertilizer too.
• C. Both groups received other nutrients from the soil, negating the fertilizer's effect.
• D. The test period was too short to observe any difference.
