Solution

The correct option is A Proteins
Protein is the building block of the muscles, skin, enzymes and hormones. It plays a vital role in all body tissues. Protein deficiency is when the intake of protein is unable to meet the body's requirements. Keratin is a type of protein that is found in the skin. This protein helps form tough skin tissues and protect cells from damage and stress. Deficiency of keratin causes several dermatological diseases like itching and rashes.
So the correct option is 'Proteins'.
