Question

given what is known about vitamin c, which of these would be a symptom of scurvy (vitamin c deficiency)?
○ thyroid enlargement
○ anemia
○ tooth loss
○ muscle weakness

Explanation:

Vitamin C is critical for collagen synthesis, which supports connective tissues like gums and tooth ligaments. Scurvy (vitamin C deficiency) weakens these structures, leading to tooth loss. Thyroid enlargement links to iodine deficiency, anemia to iron/B12 deficiency, and muscle weakness to multiple causes but is not a classic scurvy symptom.

Answer:

tooth loss
