Solution

The correct option is A Citrus
Bleeding gums are often associated with scurvy. Scurvy is a disease, that is caused by a vitamin C deficiency. Healthy gums need high amounts of vitamin C. Even a minor vitamin C deficiency can affect the condition of gums, causing bleeding in many cases. Citrus fruits are rich sources of vitamin C.
