Question

Identify the correctly matched set from the following:

• A. Vitamin A – Water soluble – Xerophthalmia
• B. Vitamin B\(_6\) – Water soluble – Scurvy
• C. Vitamin D – Fat soluble – Rickets
• D. Vitamin C – Fat soluble – Convulsions

Hint:

Vitamin D is fat-soluble and its deficiency causes rickets, a bone-related disorder.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Classification of Vitamins
- Water-soluble vitamins: Vitamin B-complex, Vitamin C.
- Fat-soluble vitamins: Vitamins A, D, E, K. Step 2: Matching with Diseases
- Vitamin A is fat-soluble and is related to night blindness, not xerophthalmia.
- Vitamin B\(_6\) is water-soluble, but scurvy is caused by Vitamin C deficiency.
- Vitamin D is fat-soluble and deficiency leads to rickets.
- Vitamin C is water-soluble, not fat-soluble.
Thus, the correct answer is Vitamin D – Fat soluble – Rickets. \bigskip
