Solution

The correct option is A D
Normal bone mineralisation depends on adequate calcium and phosphate and this is maintained by vitamin D. Osteomalacia (adults) and rickets (children) are caused by inadequate mineralisation of bone matrix. Vitamin D deficiency causes low calcium and phosphate.
So, the correct answer is 'D'
