    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Scurvy is a disease resulting from a lack of vitamin C (ascorbic acid). This may be due to ignorance, famine, anorexia, restrictive diets (due to allergies.), etc. Historically, scurvy was the result of long sea voyages where sailors did not bring along enough foods with vitamin C. Scurvy is currently rare and occurs more often in the developing world.
