Solution

The correct option is C Kwashiorkor
Kwashiorkor is a nutritional disorder most often seen in regions experiencing famine. It is a form of malnutrition caused by a lack of protein in the diet. Kwashiorkor can be prevented by including foods in your diet that are rich in proteins, such as meat, fish, dairy products, eggs, soy, and beans.

Anemia is a condition that develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin. It is caused due to deficiency of iron or certain B vitamins such as Folic acid (Vitamin B9) and Cobalamine (Vitamin B12). Scurvy is caused due to deficiency of Vitamin C, that is ascorbic acid. And Rickets is caused due to deficiency of Vitamin D.
