| C. Cyanocobalamine | III. Scurvy |
| D. Ascorbic acid | IV. Pernicious anemia |
| V. Goitre |
Choose the correct answer :
Answer a.
Explanation Answer · a
Option a: A-II, B-I, C-IV and D-III give the intended vitamin–deficiency matching. Calciferol is vitamin D, whose deficiency causes rickets in children. Thiamine is vitamin B1, associated with beriberi; cyanocobalamin is vitamin B12, and ascorbic acid is vitamin C, whose deficiency causes scurvy. Pernicious anaemia involves vitamin B12 deficiency caused by impaired absorption, rather than simply a low dietary intake.
