Answer 1

The correct option is C E

Nutritional muscular dystrophy is due to the deficiency of vitamin $E$.

Vitamin $E$ deficiency accompanied by sulphur amino acid deficiency results in severe muscular dystrophy (in chicks and lambs).

This condition is characterized by degeneration of the muscle fibers, usually in the breast but sometimes also in the leg muscles.

This condition often affects young ruminants, such as calves and lambs.

Option C is correct.
