The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Juvenile Diabetes Mellitus**: Juvenile diabetes mellitus, also known as Type 1 diabetes, is primarily characterized by the body's inability to produce insulin due to damage to the pancreatic beta cells. 2. **Identifying the Cause**: The primary cause of juvenile diabetes is the loss of pancreatic beta cells. These cells are responsible for producing insulin, which is crucial for regulating blood glucose levels. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **(a) Loss of pancreatic beta cells**: This is the correct answer, as the destruction of these cells leads to insufficient insulin production. - **(b) Resistance to insulin**: This is more characteristic of Type 2 diabetes, not juvenile diabetes. - **(c) Malnutrition**: While malnutrition can affect overall health, it is not a direct cause of juvenile diabetes. - **(d) Obesity**: Obesity is also more associated with Type 2 diabetes rather than juvenile diabetes. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is (a) Loss of pancreatic beta cells. **Final Answer**: (a) Loss of pancreatic beta cells ---
