Match List I (Diseases) with List II (Types of disease) and select the correct answer using the codes given below the Lists: List I I. Haemophilia II. Diabetes II. Diabetes IV. Ringworm Codes:
- AI-B, II-C, III-D, IV-A
- BI-B, II-C, III-A, IV-DCorrect
- CI-C, II-B, III-A, IV-D
- DI-C, II-B, III-D, IV-A
Explanation
To understand why option B is the correct answer, we must match each disease from List I with its corresponding category in List II.
I. Haemophilia matches with B Genetic disease. It is an inherited disorder where the blood does not clot properly due to a lack of specific clotting proteins.
II. Diabetes matches with C Hormonal disorder. It occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces.
III. Rickets matches with A Deficiency disease. It is caused by a lack of Vitamin D, calcium, or phosphate, leading to softening and weakening of bones in children.
IV. Ringworm matches with D Fungal infection. It is a common skin infection caused by a fungus, characterized by a circular, red, itchy rash.
Matching these correctly leads to the sequence I-B, II-C, III-A, and IV-D, which corresponds to Option B.
