Solution(By Examveda Team)

a. The deficiency of Retinol causes Xeropthalmia.
Xerophthalmia is the clinical spectrum of ocular manifestations of vitamin A deficiency; these range from the milder stages of night blindness and Bitot spots to the potentially blinding stages of corneal xerosis, ulceration and necrosis.

b. The deficiency of Tocopherol causes Muscular destrophy.
Nutritional muscular dystrophy (NMD), or stiff lamb disease, is a muscular dystrophy caused by a deficiency of selenium (Se) or vitamin E (Tocopherol) or both in young ruminants.

c. The deficiency of folic acid causes Anaemia.
Low levels of folic acid can cause megaloblastic anemia. With this condition, red blood cells are larger than normal. There are fewer of these cells. They are also oval-shaped, not round.

d. The deficiency of Pyridoxine causes Vonvulsion.
Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) deficiency is a recognized cause of intractable seizures and most reported cases of this condition are in neonates.
