A megadose is a very large dose of a vitamin or other nutrient, usually exceeding the recommended daily allowance or RDA. In this case, the recommended dose is 2 mg, so a megadose would be significantly larger than that. Of the answer options given, only D, 25 mg, meets this criteria and is therefore the correct answer. A (5 mg), B (10 mcg), and C (40 mcg) are all much smaller than a megadose.
