2. Zinc deficiency
3. Calcium deficiency
4. Iron deficiency

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Iron deficiency

The correct answer is Iron deficiency.

• Anemia is caused due to deficiency of Iron.
• Anemia, also spelled Anaemia, is usually characterized as a decrease in the total amount of red blood cells (RBCs) or hemoglobin in the blood which mainly contains Iron as a significant body mineral.
• It can also be defined as the blood's ability to carry oxygen to decrease.
• As anemia gradually progresses, the symptoms are often unclear and can include feeling tired, fatigue, shortness of breath, or poor exercise capacity.
• Anemia that develops rapidly also has greater symptoms, which can include confusion, feeling one passing out, losing consciousness, or thirst. Until a person is visibly pale anemia has to be significant.
