Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Let's match the diseases in Column-I with their deficiencies in Column-II:

• (A) Scurry is caused by a deficiency of Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), so the correct match is A-R.
• (B) Convulsions are caused by a deficiency of Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6), so the correct match is B-P.
• (C) Cheilosis (cracks at the corners of the mouth) is caused by a deficiency of Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), so the correct match is C-S.
• (D) Xerophthalmia (night blindness and dry eyes) is caused by a deficiency of Vitamin A, so the correct match is D-Q.

Thus, the correct order of matching is:
\[ A-R ; B-P ; C-S ; D-Q \] Final Answer: (A) A-R ; B-P ; C-S ; D-Q
