Night blindness is caused by the lack of which vitamin?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → A
Night blindness (difficulty in seeing in dim light) is caused by a lack of vitamin A. The rod cells of the retina, which work in dim light, need vitamin A to make the light-sensitive pigment rhodopsin (visual purple). Carrots, green leafy vegetables, milk, eggs and fish-liver oil are good sources.
