Severe deficiency of Vitamin D results in:

A. Scurvy
B. Night blindness
C. Rickets
D. Osteoporosis
Correct Answer: C. Rickets

A severe deficiency of Vitamin D primarily results in Rickets in children. Rickets is a condition characterized by soft, weak bones, bone pain, and impaired growth, caused by the body's inability to properly absorb calcium and phosphate, which Vitamin D facilitates.

  • Scurvy is caused by a deficiency of Vitamin C.
  • Night blindness is typically associated with Vitamin A deficiency.
  • While Osteoporosis involves bone density loss, it is primarily an adult condition, and severe Vitamin D deficiency in adults leads to osteomalacia, which is distinct from childhood rickets.

Understanding the specific health consequences of vitamin deficiencies is crucial for health and nutrition knowledge.
