The correct answer is: Vitamin-K - Beri-beri
Beri-beri is caused by the deficiency of vitamin- $\mathrm{B}_1$ (thiamine).
Vitamin- K is also known as antihaemorrhagic factor. The main sources of vitamin-K are green leafy vegetables such as cauliflower, cabbage, spinach, etc. It is also found in animal sources like egg yolk, liver, etc. Vitamin-K is essential for blood clotting and deficiency of it causes haemorrhage.
