{'nutrien deficiency': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'deficiency': [5, 0, 10, 2], 'pernicious anaemia': [2, 0, 0, 0], 'microcytic anaemia': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'diseases': [9, 0, 10, 7], 'iodine': [2, 1, 1, 1], 'iron': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'pellagia codes': [1, 0, 0, 0]}
The correct answer is option 4, which is (iv) Pellagra. Pellagra is a disease caused by a deficiency of Vitamin B2.
Let`s analyze the other options to understand why they are not the correct answers:
Option 1: Iodine deficiency causes goiter, not microcytic anemia. So, option 1 is incorrect.
Option 2: Iron deficiency causes microcytic anemia, but not pernicious anemia. So, option 2 is incorrect.
Option 3: Niacin deficiency causes pellagra, not goiter. So, option 3 is incorrect.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 4, (iv) Pellagra.
