Shyam is suffering from Beriberi. This is because he has a deficiency of ________.

Vitamin B

The correct answer is Option (3)- Vitamin B

Shyam is suffering from Beriberi, which is caused by a deficiency of Vitamin B1 (Thiamine).

Explanation:

Beriberi is a condition resulting from insufficient intake of thiamine (Vitamin B1) in the diet. Thiamine is essential for the metabolism of carbohydrates and plays a crucial role in the proper functioning of the nervous system. Beriberi can manifest in two main forms: wet beriberi, which affects the cardiovascular system, and dry beriberi, which primarily affects the nervous system.

To treat beriberi, addressing the thiamine deficiency through dietary changes or thiamine supplementation is essential. Foods rich in thiamine include whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and pork.
