Solution

The cooking method that can result in major losses of water-soluble vitamins is "Boiling in a saucepan of water". This is because water-soluble vitamins, like vitamin C and B vitamins, can leach out into the water. If this water is then discarded, the vitamins go with it. The other methods listed - microwaving, steaming, and stir-frying - generally result in less nutrient loss as they use less water or cook the food for a shorter period of time.
