The correct answer is option 1: Beri-Beri. Beri-Beri is a disease that is caused by a deficiency of Vitamin B, specifically thiamine (Vitamin B1). Thiamine plays a crucial role in converting food into energy, and a deficiency can lead to various symptoms including weakness, fatigue, muscle pain, and nerve damage.

Option 2: Rickets is caused by a deficiency of Vitamin D and calcium, and is characterized by weak and brittle bones.

Option 3: Kwashiorkor is a form of malnutrition caused by a deficiency of protein. It results in swelling, stomach bloating, and stunted growth.

Option 4: Scurvy is caused by a deficiency of Vitamin C and leads to symptoms such as bleeding gums, joint pain, and fatigue.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1: Beri-Beri.
