Explanation by: Mr. Dubey

Anaemia is a condition where the body doesn't have enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen. One major cause is the deficiency of folic acid, which is essential for red blood cell formation.

Why other options are incorrect:

  • (A) Niacin (Vitamin B3) – Its deficiency causes pellagra, not anaemia.
  • (C) Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) – Important for energy metabolism; its deficiency leads to skin and mouth disorders.
  • (D) Thiamine (Vitamin B1) – Its deficiency causes beriberi, not anaemia.
