Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Let's match the deficiencies in List I with the diseases in List II:
(A) Insulin: Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. A deficiency of insulin leads to Diabetes (III).
(B) Protein: Protein deficiency, especially in children, can lead to a condition called Kwashiorkor (I), characterized by edema, irritability, anorexia, and skin changes.
