Solution
The correct option is D Follicular hyperkeratosis
Vitamins are considered as an essential part of human's diet. Some time due to the deficiency in one or more vitamin can lead to severe health disease. One such disease is Phrynoderma (Toad skin or follicular hyperkeratosis) disease which is a common disease among children. The word “phrynoderma ” has been coined by Nicholls in the year 1993, as the texture of the skin turns to be toad-like. This disease develops due to excessive accumulation of keratin in the hair follicle, as a result, rough cone-shaped papules form having their opening closed with white sebum. So, the correct answer is 'Follicular hyperkeratosis'.
