Answer 1

Hint: Vitamin B is multivitamins having an important role playing in good health and well-being. As building blocks for a healthy body, B vitamins have a significant effect on your energy levels, brain activity, and cell metabolism. Vitamin B complex helps prevent infection and helps to promote or promote cell health.

Complete answer:
Vitamin K is considered to be fat soluble. A variety of vitamin K-dependent proteins contribute to coagulation, bone growth and cardiovascular health. fat-soluble vitamin deficiency can result in severe bleeding, poor bone growth, osteoporosis, and increased disorder. Extreme deficiency, referred to as scurvy, causes bruising, gum and dental problems, dry hair, skin, and anaemia.

Diagnosis relies on symptoms and infrequently on blood tests. Increased intake of fresh fruits and vegetables or oral ascorbic acid supplements would usually correct the deficiency. Signs and symptoms of riboflavin deficiency (also called ariboflavinosis) include skin disorders, hyperemia (excessive blood) and oedema within the mouth and neck, angular stomatitis (mouth corners), hair loss, cheilosis (swollen, split lips), itchy and red eyes, reproductive complications and liver degeneration of nervous system.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A)

Note: Risk factors for thiamine deficiency include the diet of predominantly white rice, as well as alcoholism, dialysis, chronic diarrhea, and heavy doses of diuretics. It may rarely be attributed to a genetic disorder that causes the difficulty of absorbing thiamine found in food. Wernicke encephalopathy and Korsakoff syndrome are manifestations of dry beriberi.
