The correct option is B D
Rickets is a childhood bone disorder where bones soften and become prone to fractures and deformity. It is usually caused due to deficiency of one, or a combination of nutrients. The predominant cause is a vitamin D deficiency, but lack of adequate calcium in the diet may also lead to rickets. Rickets mainly affects children, but may also affect adults (osteomalacia).
