Match List-I (vitamin) with List-II (deficiency disease)

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

The correct answer is Option (3) → (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)

(A) Thiamine → (III) Retarded Growth Thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency impairs energy metabolism and is associated with growth retardation, particularly in children (e.g., in chronic or infantile beriberi cases linked to malnutrition).

(B) Pyridoxine → (I) Convulsions Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) deficiency causes neurological issues, including convulsions/seizures, especially in infants or due to impaired GABA synthesis (classic in pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy).

(C) Vitamin E → (IV) Muscular weakness Vitamin E deficiency leads to oxidative damage in muscles and nerves, resulting in muscular weakness, ataxia, and neuropathy.

(D) Riboflavin → (II) Cheilosis Riboflavin (vitamin B2) deficiency classically causes cheilosis (fissuring and inflammation of the lips), along with angular stomatitis and glossitis.
