Which of the following vitamin deficiency causes convulsions?
Answer: D
The deficiency that causes convulsions is that of Pyridoxine (vitamin B6).
Pyridoxine is needed to make several neurotransmitters, and a lack of it can lead to convulsions, especially in infants. This is the deficiency disease listed for vitamin B6 in the standard table of vitamins.
The others are matched with different conditions: riboflavin (B2) with cheilosis and cracking at the corners of the mouth, thiamine (B1) with beriberi, ascorbic acid (vitamin C) with scurvy and bleeding gums, and vitamin D with rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults.
