Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
A deficiency disease appears when the body goes without a nutrient or a hormone it needs for a long time.
(A) Insulin — this matches (III) Diabetes. Insulin from the pancreas lets the body’s cells take up glucose; without enough of it, sugar builds up in the blood, which is diabetes mellitus.
(B) Protein — this matches (I) Kwashiorkor. It is seen in young children whose diet has too little protein: their legs and belly swell, their limbs stay thin and their growth slows.
(C) Thyroxin — this matches (IV) Goitre. When the thyroid cannot make enough thyroxine, usually for want of iodine, it swells in the neck as it tries to make more; the swelling is goitre.
(D) Vitamin C — this matches (II) Scurvy. Vitamin C is needed to make collagen, so without it the gums bleed and wounds heal slowly.
