The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding health complications caused by protein deficiency, we will analyze the options provided and determine which conditions are directly related to a lack of protein in the diet. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Protein Deficiency**: - Protein is an essential nutrient required for various bodily functions, including tissue repair, immune function, and hormone production. A deficiency can lead to several health complications. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1: Merasmus**: This is a severe form of malnutrition caused by a deficiency of protein and calories. Symptoms include significant weight loss, dehydration, and muscle wasting. This condition is primarily seen in children. - **Option 2: Goiter**: This condition is caused by iodine deficiency, not protein deficiency. Therefore, it is not a correct answer. - **Option 3: Myasthenia Gravis**: This is an autoimmune disorder affecting the communication between nerves and muscles, unrelated to protein deficiency. - **Option 4: Edema**: While protein deficiency can lead to edema due to low albumin levels, edema itself is not exclusively caused by protein deficiency. - **Option 5: Wasting and Shrinkage of Muscle Tissue**: This can occur due to protein deficiency, but it is a general symptom rather than a specific disease. - **Option 6: Organ Failure**: This is a serious condition that can result from various factors, including severe malnutrition, but it is not specific to protein deficiency. - **Option 7: Lymphoma**: This is a type of cancer affecting the lymphatic system and is not related to protein deficiency. 3. **Identifying Correct Conditions**: - From the analysis, **Merasmus** is a clear health complication caused by protein deficiency. Other conditions like **Kwashiorkor** (not listed in the options but also a protein deficiency disease) could be mentioned in a broader context. 4. **Conclusion**: - The best answer to the question "Health complication caused by protein deficiency is" is **Merasmus**. ### Final Answer: **Merasmus**
