Vitamin                Deficiency
A. Vitamin A            Anaemia
B. Vitamin C            Skin Diseases
C. Vitamin D             Rickets
D. Vitamin B1             Beri Beri

Which of the above pairs are correctly matched?

Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Correct Answer: Option C — C and D
To identify the correctly matched pairs, let’s look at the specific deficiency diseases associated with each vitamin listed: Analysis of the Pairs 
A. Vitamin A — Night Blindness (Incorrectly Matched): Vitamin A is essential for vision. Its deficiency leads to Xerophthalmia or Night Blindness, not Anaemia. Anaemia is typically caused by a deficiency of Iron, Vitamin B12, or Folic Acid .B. Vitamin C — Scurvy (Incorrectly Matched): Vitamin C is vital for collagen synthesis. Deficiency causes Scurvy, characterized by bleeding gums and skin spots. While Scurvy involves skin symptoms, "Skin Diseases" is too broad and usually refers to B-complex deficiencies (like Pellagra) or Vitamin E issues.C. Vitamin D — Rickets (Correctly Matched): Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium. A deficiency leads to Rickets in children (soft and weakened bones) and Osteomalacia in adults. D. Vitamin B1 — Beri Beri (Correctly Matched): Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) is crucial for energy metabolism. Its deficiency causes Beri Beri, which affects the circulatory system or the central nervous system.
