Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → A-I, B-III, C-IV, D-II
(A) Vitamin A — this matches (I) Night Blindness. Vitamin A is needed for normal vision; its lack affects the eyes.
(B) Vitamin B12 — this matches (III) Pernicious anaemia. Without vitamin B12 the red blood cells formed are deficient in haemoglobin.
(C) Vitamin C — this matches (IV) Scurvy. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is water soluble and is not stored in the body, so it must be taken regularly in the diet.
(D) Vitamin D — this matches (II) Rickets. Vitamin D is needed for proper bone formation; children who lack it develop rickets.
