Solution

The correct answer is "Inefficient fat digestion and absorption". Even if a person consumes a diet adequate in fat, they can still develop a fat-soluble vitamin deficiency if their body is not properly digesting or absorbing the fat. Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) require fat for the body to absorb them. Therefore, conditions that decrease the absorption of dietary fat, such as certain liver, gallbladder, and intestinal disorders, can result in deficiencies of these vitamins.
