Answer:

The correct answer is option (c) both vitamins and minerals.

Explanation:

Rice is a kind of seed which is found in cereal grass. It is rich in carbohydrates and half of the world is dependent on the rice. Most people eat the rice in boiled or steamed formed. There are mainly two types of rice first one is white rice and second one is brown rice. White rice has less fiber on the other hand brown rice has more fiber. If we talk about vitamins and minerals so yes, rice has both vitamins and minerals in it and repeated washings of rice can cause loss of vitamins and minerals. If we talk about vitamins then vitamins like thiamin and niacin are present in the rice and if we talk about minerals then minerals like zinc and phosphorus are present in the rice.

Hence, the correct answer is option (c) both vitamins and minerals.
