Solution

The correct option is D Rickets
Vitamins are nutrients that are required by the body in very small quantities. Vitamin D is important for healthy bones and teeth. If the body does not get sufficient amount of vitamin D, it leads to a deficiency disease called rickets in children. It results in softening and weakening of bones. In adults, deficiency of vitamin D causes another disease called osteomalacia.
