Solution

The correct option is B Retinol - Xeropthalmia
Vitamins based on their chemical nature can be of two types- fat soluble or water soluble. Vitamins that have hydrophobic moieties and dissolve in fats rather than water are fat soluble; the rest are water soluble. Vitamin A is a fat soluble vitamin. This vitamin is very essential for eye sight. The lack of vitamin A can cause night blindness in humans.
