Solution

The correct option is C Selenium

Low serum Selenium levels are associated with increased risk of cardio-vascular diseases, liver necrosis, muscular dystrophy, pancreatic fibrosis, reproductive disorders and various cancers.

Selenium, along with vitamin E, prevents the development of hepatic necrosis and muscular dystrophy.

The good sources of Selenium are organ meat ( liver, kidney) and sea food.

So, the correct answer is 'Selenium'
