    Answer:

    a) Rickets

    Explanation:

    Rickets occurs at the early stage of childhood due to inadequate vitamin D.

    Vitamin D provides the body with higher absorption rate of calcium and phosphorus, inadequate intake of Vitamin D results into low calcium and phosphorus levels in the bones, as a result, rickets sets in.

    Rickets is a disarrangement of impaired mineralization of cartilaginous growth plates in children. It can also result from lack of exposure to sunlight.
