Beriberi is a disease brought on by a vitamin B1 (thiamine) deficiency. There are two types of the disease, wet beriberi and dry beriberi. Rickets usually occurs because of a lack of vitamin D and calcium, although it can also be caused by a genetic defect or another health condition. Scurvy is a disease caused by a deficiency of vitamin C, characterized by swollen bleeding gums and the opening of previously healed wounds, which particularly affected poorly nourished sailors until the end of the 18th century.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
