Answer 1

The correct option is D C

Scurvy is a disease resulting from a deficiency of vitamin C. Scurvy often presents initially with fatigue, followed by formation of spots on the skin, spongy gums and bleeding from the mucous membranes. Spots are most abundant on the thighs and legs and a person may look pale, feels depressed and be partially immobilized. As scurvy advances, there can be open, suppurating wounds, loss of teeth, yellow skin, fever, neuropathy and finally death from bleeding. So, anti-scurvy vitamin is vitamin C.
