Correct Answer: Scurvy


Solution : The correct answer is Scurvy .

Scurvy is an illness caused by a lack of vitamin C. Among the symptoms include anaemia, weakness and gum issues. Berries and citrus fruits are good sources of vitamin C. The synthesis of collagen, an essential component of connective tissues, depends on vitamin C. A deficiency in vitamin C will also affect the immune system, iron absorption, cholesterol metabolism and other functions.
