Correct:
C
Explanation
Amla (Indian Gooseberry) is the richest source of Vitamin C among the options provided. It contains approximately 600–700 mg of Vitamin C per 100g, which is significantly higher than citrus fruits like oranges. Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a vital water-soluble antioxidant that aids in collagen synthesis, wound healing, and boosting the immune system.
Comparatively, the Vitamin C content in the other fruits is much lower:
- Papaya: Approximately 60 mg/100g
- Banana: Approximately 8.7 mg/100g
- Apple: Approximately 4.6 mg/100g
Because of its exceptional nutrient density, Amla is considered a "superfood" in nutritional science and traditional medicine.
