Tofu, soybean milk, and orange juice are all good sources of iron that are vegan-friendly. Tofu is high in iron, soybean milk is often fortified with iron, and orange juice contains vitamin C which helps with iron absorption. Brewer's yeast, apples, and strawberries are not as good of sources of iron as the options in choice A. Peas are a good source of iron, but are not included in the other options.
