Question

A systemic deficiency of which specific vital, heavily biologically monitored vitamin directly causes the severe onset of osteomalacia (severe softening of structural bones) prominently in adults and devastating rickets in young children?

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. Vitamin D plays an absolutely fundamental and irreplaceable physiological role severely regulating systemic calcium and phosphorus absorption and deposition in bone tissues. Its absence decisively results in grossly weakened, dangerously soft bones (osteomalacia / rickets).
