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
