The correct option is B

i). b., ii). c., iii). d., iv). a.

Jaundice is caused due to an increased level of bile pigment in the blood, which leads to the yellowing of skin and eyes.
Paralysis is the loss of the ability to move.
Osteoporosis or softening of bones, is caused by a lack of vitamin D and/or calcium.
Scurvy is due to the lack of vitamin C. Vitamin C plays an important role in the formation of collagen, and thus in its absence, gums that are connective tissue start falling apart and bleed.
