||
|---|---|---|---|
| A. | Vitamin B12 | I. | Cheilosis |
| B. | Vitamin D | II. | Convulsions |
| C. | Vitamin B2 | III. | Rickets |
| D. | Vitamin B6 | IV. | Pernicious anaemia |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Correct Answer :
A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
Solution :
To solve the matching problem we first recall the characteristic deficiency disease associated with each vitamin.
Vitamin B12 (A): A lack of Vitamin B12 impairs DNA synthesis in red‑blood‑cell precursors, producing megaloblastic anemia that is classically called pernicious anaemia. Hence A matches with IV.
Vitamin D (B): Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption and bone mineralisation. Its deficiency in children leads to soft, weak bones known as rickets. Therefore B matches with III.
Vitamin B2 (C): Deficiency of Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) presents with **cheilosis** – cracking and inflammation of the corners of the mouth. Thus C matches with I.
Vitamin B6 (D): Vitamin B6 is a co‑factor in the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as GABA. Its deficiency can cause neurological excitability, manifesting as convulsions. Consequently D matches with II.
Putting the matches together we obtain the ordered set:
A → IV, B → III, C → I, D → II
