The correct option is 2, which states that Vitamin B is correctly paired with Beriberi and Vitamin C is correctly paired with Scurvy.

Let`s evaluate each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:

1. Vitamin A: Rickets - This pairing is incorrect. Vitamin A deficiency can lead to night blindness and other eye-related problems, but rickets is caused by Vitamin D deficiency.

2. Vitamin B: Beriberi - This pairing is correct. Beriberi is a disease caused by a deficiency of Vitamin B1 (thiamine).

3. Vitamin C: Scurvy - This pairing is correct. Scurvy is a disease caused by a deficiency of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid).

4. When we analyze all the pairs individually, it becomes clear that options 1 and 3 are incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2, which states that only Vitamin B is correctly paired with Beriberi and Vitamin C is correctly paired with Scurvy.

It is important to note that Rickets is caused by Vitamin D deficiency, and Vitamin A plays a role in maintaining healthy vision.
