Solution

Part (A):

Deficiency of Vitamin $A$ causes xerophthalmia (hardening of cornea of eye) and night blindness.

$(A)$ Vitamin $A$ $\to$ $(i i i)$ Xerophthalmia, $(v i)$ night blindness

Part (B):

Deficiency of Vitamin $B_{1}$ causes beri beri (loss of appetite, retarded growth).

$(B)$ Vitamin $B_{1} \to (i i i)$ Beri beri

Part (C):

Deficiency of Vitamin $B_{12}$ causes pernicious anaemia ( $R B C$ deficient in haemoglobin).

$(C)$ Vitamin $B_{12} \to (i)$ Pernicious anaemia

Part (D):

Deficiency of Vitamin $C$ causes scurvy (bleeding gums).

$(D)$ Vitamin $C \to (v i i i)$ Bleeding gums

Part (E):

Deficiency of Vitamin $D$ causes rickets (bone deformities in children) and osteomalacia (soft bones and joint pain in adults).

$(E)$ Vitamin $D \to (i v)$ Rickets, $(i x)$ Osteomalacia

Part (F):

Deficiency of Vitamin $E$ causes increased fragility of $R B C s$ and muscular weakness.

$(F)$ Vitamin $E \to (v)$ Muscular weakness

Part (G):

Deficiency of Vitamin $K$ causes increased blood clotting time.

$(G)$ Vitamin $K \to (i i)$ Increased blood clotting time

Conclusion:

$(A) \to (i i i), (v i)$
$(B) \to (v i i)$
$(C) \to (i)$
$(D) \to (v i i i)$
$(E) \to (i v), (i x)$
$(F) \to (v)$
$(G) \to (i i)$
