ii) Knock-knee is mainly caused due to deficiency of c) Vitamin D.

iii) Knock-knee could develop in an individual due to b) Obesity.

Explanation:

• Knock knee is the condition when the distance between the two medial malleoli is more than 10 cm apart upon joining both knees.
• It occurs due to a deficiency of Vitamin D during the growth stage.
• The deficiency of Vitamin D causes premature closure of the growth plate, widening of epiphyses, greenstick fractures, muscle wasting, knock-knees, bow-legs, short stature.
• Obesity causes disproportionate deposition of fat in the thighs causing the forelegs to be far apart from the knee down thereby causing knock knees.
• The padmasana or the lotus pose involves crossing the legs at the knees and regular practice of the padmasana can be helpful in reducing the knock knees to some extent.
