Solution

The correct option is B Bone fracture
  • Bone injuries are caused when bones are subjected to excessive force during falls and accidents. A broken bone is called a fracture. Whereas rickets, beriberi and goitre are deficiency diseases.
  • Rickets is caused due to deficiency of vitamin D and it causes bones to become weak and brittle.
  • Beriberi is caused due to deficiency of vitamin B1 and it causes decreased muscle function.
  • Goitre is caused due to deficiency of iodine and it causes the swelling of the throat.
