Solution

The correct option is B

(b) Rickets


B)

Explanation: The most common cause of rickets is the deficiency of vitamin D or calcium in a child's diet. Both are essential for children to develop strong and healthy bones. The main sources of vitamin D are: sunlight – your skin produces vitamin D when it's exposed to the sun, and we get most of our vitamin D this way.
