Beriberi refers to a cluster of symptoms caused primarily by a nutrition deficit in vitamin B1 (thiamine). In the 1880s, Takaki demonstrated the benefits of dietary modification in sailors. later, the scientist observed the symptoms of the vitamin deficiency and the condition was named as beriberi. So, the correct answer is 'Beriberi'
