Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (b) Tocopherol - Beri-beri
Explanation
Tocopherol is vitamin E, and its lack does not cause beriberi. Beriberi is caused by lack of vitamin B1 (thiamine).
The other pairs are correct: retinol (vitamin A) – xerophthalmia, cyanocobalamin (B12) – anaemia, and ergocalciferol (D2) – rickets.
