The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements is incorrect, let's analyze each statement one by one. 1. **Statement (i)**: "Fats deposited in our body act as shock absorbers and protect us from injury." - This statement is **correct**. Fats serve as a protective layer around our organs, acting as shock absorbers, which helps to cushion the body against injuries. 2. **Statement (ii)**: "Kwashiorkor is caused by deficiency of protein, carbohydrate, and fat. Roughage neither releases energy nor helps in tissue or body building." - This statement is **incorrect**. Kwashiorkor is primarily caused by a deficiency of protein, not carbohydrates and fats. Additionally, while it is true that roughage (dietary fiber) does not provide energy or contribute to tissue building, the first part of the statement regarding Kwashiorkor is what makes the entire statement incorrect. 3. **Statement (iii)**: "Roughage neither releases energy nor helps in tissue or body building." - This statement is **correct**. Roughage, or dietary fiber, does not provide energy or aid in building tissues. Its primary role is to help with digestion and elimination of waste. 4. **Statement (iv)**: "Starch containing food items turn bluish black in color on undergoing iodine test." - This statement is **correct**. The iodine test is a well-known method to detect starch, and a bluish-black color indicates the presence of starch. After analyzing all statements, we find that the only incorrect statement is **(ii)**. ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement is **(ii)**.
