Options

C. Night blindnessÂ
D. Colour blindness

Answer

To solve the question, we need to analyze the dietary advice given by the doctor and the conditions listed in the options.

1. **Understanding the Dietary Advice**: The doctor advises the patient to eat more yellow fruits, carrots, and butter. These foods are known to be rich in Vitamin A.

2. **Identifying the Conditions**:
- **Kwashiorkor**: This is a form of malnutrition caused by protein deficiency. It is not directly related to Vitamin A deficiency.
- **Marasmus**: This is another form of malnutrition, primarily due to a lack of calories and protein. Like Kwashiorkor, it is not related to Vitamin A.
- **Night Blindness**: This condition is specifically caused by a deficiency in Vitamin A, which affects vision, particularly in low-light conditions.
- **Color Blindness**: This is a genetic condition that affects the ability to distinguish colors and is not related to dietary intake of Vitamin A.

3. **Conclusion**: Since the doctor is recommending foods high in Vitamin A, it indicates that the patient is likely suffering from a condition related to Vitamin A deficiency. The most relevant condition from the options provided is **Night Blindness**.

Thus, the correct answer is **(c) Night blindness**.
