Correct answer is vit b12 ( folate ) and vit k .
Several bacterial genera that are common in the distal intestine (e.g., Bacteroides, Bifidobacterium, and Enterococcus) are known to synthesize vitamins. Thiamine, folate, biotin, riboflavin, and panthothenic acid are water-soluble vitamins that are plentiful in the diet, but that are also synthesized by gut bacteria.
Vitamin K is fat soluble vitamin that role in helping the blood clot and preventing excessive bleeding. It is Vitamin K2, a component of vitamin K, synthesized by bacteria present in the intestine and it helps to treat osteoporosis.
