Deficiency of copper causes

Options

A. Pellagra
B. Anaemia and damage to CNS
C. Influenza
D. Xerophthalmia

Answer

B

Explanation

The anaemia caused by copper deficiency is thought to be caused by impaired iron transport. Ceruloplasmia also oxidizes iron from its ferro state to the ferric form that is required for iron binding. Impairment in these copper dependent enzymes that transport iron may cause the secondary iron deficiency anaemia.
