Identify the INCORRECT match between the vitamin and its deficiency disease: (1) Vitamin A — Xerophthalmia (2) Vitamin B1 — Cheilosis (3) Vitamin B6 — Convulsions (4) Vitamin D — Osteomalacia

1. 1
2. 2
3. 3
4. 4

Correct answer: 2

Solution

Vitamin B1 (thiamine) deficiency causes Beriberi, not Cheilosis. Cheilosis is caused by deficiency of Vitamin B2 (riboflavin). Hence match (2) is incorrect.
