Correct Answer: Vitamin B1


Solution : The correct option is vitamin B1.

Beriberi is caused by a deficiency of thiamine (vitamin B1). Thiamine is crucial for converting food into energy. A lack of this vitamin can lead to neurological and cardiovascular symptoms, affecting the nervous system and heart. Major foods for vitamin B1 (thiamine) include whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and fortified cereals.
