(A) Vitamin A: This vitamin is essential for vision. Its deficiency leads to Xerophthalmia (hardening of the cornea and extreme dryness of the eyes) and night blindness. (A)-(III)
(B) Vitamin E: Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant that protects cell membranes. A deficiency can lead to increased fragility of Red Blood Cells (RBCs), causing them to rupture more easily (hemolytic anemia). (B)-(I)
(C) Vitamin C: Also known as ascorbic acid, it is crucial for collagen synthesis. Deficiency results in Scurvy, characterized by bleeding gums and skin hemorrhages. (C)-(IV)
(D) Vitamin K: This vitamin is necessary for the synthesis of blood-clotting factors. A deficiency leads to an increase in blood clotting time, resulting in excessive bleeding from even minor injuries. (D)-(II)
