Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : B

• "Rickets" is a disease caused by vitamin "D" deficiency.
• Due to its deficiency, calcium and phosphorus are not synthesized in the body.
• Rickets is a bone disease that usually occurs in children.
• Weak bones in children are called 'rickets'.
• The source of vitamin D is sunlight, the yellow part of the egg, fish oil, milk, and butter.
• The chemical names of vitamins D and A are 'calciferol and retinal', respectively.
• The chemical names of vitamins B and K are 'thiamine and phylloquinone' respectively.
• Night blindness happens due to a lack of vitamin A.
• Scurvy is a disease that happens due to a deficiency of Vitamin C.
• Beriberi is a disease that happens due to a deficiency of Vitamin B.

• The vitamins are given as statements alphabetically (A-D) and the options are marked numerically (1-4) for the statements.
• We need to choose the correct option number that has the corresponding correct vitamin.
• So the correct option is (4) which states 'B' and this 'B' indicates 'vitamin D' in the given statements.
