The correct Answer is:
To determine which option correctly matches a vitamin with its nature (fat-soluble or water-soluble) and its deficiency disease, we can analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Vitamin Types**: - Vitamins are categorized into two main types: fat-soluble and water-soluble. - **Fat-soluble vitamins** include Vitamin A, D, E, and K. - **Water-soluble vitamins** include the B-complex vitamins and Vitamin C. 2. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option (a)**: Vitamin A - Fat soluble - Night blindness - Vitamin A is indeed a fat-soluble vitamin. - Its deficiency can lead to night blindness. - **Conclusion**: This option is correctly matched. - **Option (b)**: Vitamin B - Fat soluble - Beri-beri - Vitamin B is not fat-soluble; it is water-soluble. - Beri-beri is caused by a deficiency of Vitamin B1 (Thiamine), which is a water-soluble vitamin. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrectly matched. - **Option (c)**: Vitamin K - Fat soluble - Beri-beri - Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin. - However, its deficiency does not cause beriberi; it can lead to bleeding disorders due to impaired blood clotting. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrectly matched. - **Option (d)**: Vitamin K - Water soluble - Pellagra - Vitamin K is fat-soluble, not water-soluble. - Pellagra is caused by a deficiency of Vitamin B3 (Niacin), not Vitamin K. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrectly matched. 3. **Final Conclusion**: - The only correct match is **Option (a)**: Vitamin A - Fat soluble - Night blindness. ### Summary: The correct answer is **(a) Vitamin A - Fat soluble - Night blindness**. ---
