Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III)
Each of these is a deficiency disease, caused by the lack of one nutrient, and each has a typical sign.
(A) Goiter — this matches (II) Swollen neck gland. Lack of iodine makes the thyroid gland in the neck swell.
(B) Scurvy — this matches (IV) Bleeding gums. It is caused by lack of vitamin C, which the body needs to keep the gums and blood vessels healthy.
(C) Beri-Beri — this matches (I) Weak muscles and continuous exhaustion. It is caused by lack of vitamin B1 (thiamine), which affects the nerves and muscles.
(D) Rickets — this matches (III) Softening of bones. Lack of vitamin D means too little calcium is taken into the bones, so a child’s bones become soft and bend.
