Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
(A) Deficiency of Vitamin B — this matches (II) Beri-Beri. Beri-beri comes from a lack of vitamin B1 (thiamine), common where people live on polished rice; it weakens the nerves, muscles and heart.
(B) Deficiency of Vitamin A — this matches (IV) Night blindness. Vitamin A is needed to make the pigment in the retina that lets the eye see in dim light.
(C) Deficiency of Iron — this matches (I) Anaemia. Iron is part of haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood; with too little of it a person feels tired and looks pale.
(D) Deficiency of Iodine — this matches (III) Goitre. The thyroid needs iodine to make thyroxine, and without it the gland swells in the neck.
