Option A is incorrect because fat-soluble vitamins can be stored for longer periods of time. Option B is incorrect because vitamin C is water-soluble, not fat-soluble. Option C is incorrect because consuming high amounts of fat-soluble vitamins can cause toxic effects. Option E is incorrect because fat-soluble vitamins are not immediately metabolized but rather are stored in fatty tissues in the body.
