Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to the biochemical functions and deficiency diseases of vitamins:

Vitamin \(\text{B}_1\) (Thiamine) deficiency causes Beri-beri, which is characterized by loss of appetite and retarded growth. Thus, (a) matches with (iii).

Vitamin \(\text{B}_2\) (Riboflavin) deficiency causes Cheilosis, digestive disorders, and a burning sensation of the skin. Thus, (b) matches with (iv).

Vitamin \(\text{B}_6\) (Pyridoxine) deficiency causes convulsions. Thus, (c) matches with (i).

Vitamin \(\text{B}_{12}\) (Cyanocobalamin) deficiency causes pernicious anaemia, which is characterized by RBCs deficient in haemoglobin. Thus, (d) matches with (ii).

The correct matching is (a)-(iii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(ii).

Answer: a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii
