(A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)

(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

Correct Answer:

(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)

List-I Name of vitamins

List-II Deficiency disease

(A) Vitamin A

(III) Xerophthalmia

(B) Vitamin E

(I) Increase in Fragility of RBC

(C) Vitamin C

(IV) Scurvy

(D) Vitamin K

(II) Increase blood clotting time

(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)
