Match List I (Diseases) with List II (Types of disease) and select the correct answer using the codes given below the Lists:

Codes:

The correct matching is I-B, II-C, III-A, IV-D.

Haemophilia (I) is a genetic disease. It is an inherited bleeding disorder where the blood does not clot properly. This is due to a deficiency in specific clotting factors, which are proteins in the blood.
Diabetes (II) is a hormonal disorder. It is characterized by high blood glucose levels resulting from defects in insulin production, insulin action, or both. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas.
Scurvy (III) is a deficiency disease. It is caused by a severe lack of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in the diet.
Ringworm (IV) is a fungal infection. It is a common skin infection caused by a fungus, not a worm.

The other options present incorrect pairings:

Option A incorrectly classifies Scurvy as a fungal infection and Ringworm as a deficiency disease.
Option C incorrectly classifies Haemophilia as a hormonal disorder and Scurvy as a fungal infection.
Option D incorrectly classifies Haemophilia as a hormonal disorder and Ringworm as a deficiency disease.
