Deficiency of which of the following causes weak bones and tooth decay?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Calcium. 

  • Calcium deficiencies can affect all of the body, resulting in weak nails and bones, slower hair growth and fragile, thin skin.
  • Calcium is a vital mineral. Our body uses it to build strong bones and teeth. Calcium is also needed for your heart to and other muscles to function properly. 
  • Hypocalcemia, or low levels of calcium in the blood, can lead to calcium deficiency symptoms such as muscle aches and fatigue. To boost calcium levels, a doctor may recommend eating more calcium rich foods or taking calcium supplements.
