Step-by-Step Solution

To match the deficiency diseases given in List-I with their corresponding vitamins in List-II, we recall the standard vitamins and their associated deficiency disorders:

  1. Scurvy:

    • Cause: Deficiency of Vitamin C.
    • Chemical Name: Ascorbic Acid.
    • Match: AIII\text{A} \rightarrow \text{III}
  2. Convulsions:

    • Cause: Deficiency of Vitamin B6\text{B}_6.
    • Chemical Name: Pyridoxine.
    • Match: BI\text{B} \rightarrow \text{I}
  3. Cheilosis:

    • Cause: Deficiency of Vitamin B2\text{B}_2 (characterized by inflammation and cracking of the skin at the corners of the mouth).
    • Chemical Name: Riboflavin.
    • Match: CIV\text{C} \rightarrow \text{IV}
  4. Xerophthalmia:

    • Cause: Deficiency of Vitamin A (characterized by hardening of the cornea of the eye).
    • Chemical Name: Vitamin A.
    • Match: DII\text{D} \rightarrow \text{II}

Combining these matches, we get: A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II\text{A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II}

This corresponds to the correct option C.
