A- 2 Marasmus can occur in anyone who has severe malnutrition, but it usually occurs in children. It occurs in children that do not ingest enough calories, carbohydrates and other important nutrients. B- 3 Vitamin C is present in citrus fruit. Lack of Vitamin-C causes deficiency disease called scurvy. It leads to bleeding of gums. C- 1 Kwashiorkor is a form of malnutrition caused by lack of protein in the diet. Its symptoms are fatigue, diarrhoea, loss of weight, etc. D- 4 Liver and kidney are the richest sources of Vitamin-B12. Lack of Vitamin-B12 causes pernicious anaemia. Column I Column II A.
