    Solution

    Vitamin C deficiency leads to scurvy, which is characterized by symptoms such as bleeding gums and weakened immunity. Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) deficiency causes beriberi, affecting the nervous and cardiovascular systems. Vitamin A deficiency leads to night blindness and can progress to more severe eye problems if not addressed. Vitamin D deficiency, however, causes rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults, not pellagra, which is associated with a deficiency of niacin (Vitamin B3).
