Solution

The correct option is B Vitamin D: Goitre
  • Vitamin D deficiency can lead to a disease known as rickets.
  • Rickets is a condition usually seen in children. It is characterised by weak bones, soft and thin bones, and susceptibility to fractures.
  • Since calcium and phosphate deposition are affected by low levels of vitamin D, tooth decay is also seen in the patients.
  • Goitre is caused by the deficiency of iodine.
