The correct answer for the question is option 2, which is "skin." Scurvy is a disease that is caused due to a deficiency of vitamin C in the diet. Vitamin C plays a crucial role in the production of collagen, which is important for the structure and health of the skin. When there is a deficiency of vitamin C, it can lead to symptoms such as rough and dry skin, easy bruising, and slow wound healing. However, it is important to note that scurvy doesn`t exclusively affect only the skin but can also impact other body systems. It can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, muscle weakness, swollen or bleeding gums, joint pain, and impaired immune function. Therefore, while the correct option is skin, it is important to understand that scurvy can have various effects on the body.
