{'vitamin': [16, 0, 0, 3], 'night blindness': [3, 0, 0, 1], 'deficiency disease': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'scurvy': [3, 0, 0, 0], 'rickets': [10, 1, 3, 3], 'none': [2, 0, 8, 15]}

the pairs 1 and 2 are correctly matched.

Vitamin C deficiency causes scurvy, which is a disease characterized by bleeding gums, joint pain, and fatigue.

Vitamin D deficiency causes rickets, which is a disease that affects bone development in children and leads to soft, weak bones.

However, pair 3 is not correctly matched. Vitamin E deficiency does not cause night blindness. Vitamin A deficiency is responsible for causing night blindness.

Therefore, the correct pairing is:

1. Vitamin C : Scurvy

2. Vitamin D : Rickets

3. Vitamin A : Night blindness

Hence, the answer is "1 and 2 only".
