Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Let's match the vitamin and mineral deficiencies in List I with the diseases they cause in List II:
(A) Deficiency of Vitamin B: Deficiency of Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) causes Beri-Beri (II), a disease affecting the heart, nerves, and digestive system.
(B) Deficiency of Vitamin A: Deficiency of Vitamin A is well-known to cause Night blindness (IV), an early symptom characterized by difficulty seeing in low light conditions.
(C) Deficiency of Iron: Iron is essential for the production of hemoglobin in red blood cells. Deficiency of iron leads to Anaemia (I), a condition characterized by a reduced number of red blood cells or hemoglobin, resulting in fatigue and weakness.
(D) Deficiency of Iodine: Iodine is crucial for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland. Deficiency of iodine can lead to the enlargement of the thyroid gland, a condition known as Goitre (III). Therefore, the correct matching is: A - II B - IV C - I D - III This corresponds to option (B)
