Wait, isn't the intrinsic factor related to vitamin B12? I'm going to have to go with A) Cyanocobalamin on this one.

That's right! Without the intrinsic factor, vitamin B12 cannot be absorbed properly in the small intestine.

I remember learning about this in my biology class. It's important for red blood cell formation.

Hmm, I wonder if the exam will also have a question about the 'secret ingredient' in my grandma's special pancakes. Vitamin B12, perhaps?
