Solution

The correct option is C
Diabetes

Insufficient insulin in the body leads to a condition called diabetes. In this condition, blood sugar levels are high as the body cells are not able to take in and utilise glucose due to the absence of insulin.

Goitre, scurvy and anemia are caused due to the deficiency of iodine, vitamin C and iron respectively.
