Summary. Official key is (b) matching Vitamin A to blindness, Vitamin B to beriberi, Vitamin C to scurvy, and Vitamin D to rickets. Vitamin deficiencies lead to specific clinical manifestations essential for human health diagnostics. Ascertaining these common biochemical pairs prevents typical examination mix-ups regarding fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins. Option (b) is the only choice that systematically links every listed micronutrient to its exact pathological consequence without any error.
