Solution

The correct option is C

Vitamin A


One of the first signs of vitamin A deficiency is night blindness. Lack of vitamin A causes the cornea to become very dry, leading to clouding of the front of the eye, corneal ulcers and vision loss. Vitamin A deficiency also causes damage to the retina, which also contributes to blindness.
