Solution

The correct option is B


Lack of vitamin D in the diet causes rickets. In this disease, bones become weak and get bent in the shape of a bow. Deficiency of iodine in food is characterized by a disease called goitre. During goitre, glands in the neck get swollen. It also causes mental disabilities in children.
