\(C\)

Show Worked Solution
  • C is correct: Iron forms haemoglobin for oxygen transport; deficiency directly impacts cardiovascular endurance.

Other Options:

  • A is incorrect: Vitamin D aids calcium absorption and bone health, not oxygen transport.
  • B is incorrect: Zinc supports immune function, not related to iron-deficiency anaemia.
  • D is incorrect: Calcium supports bones and muscle contraction, not anaemia.
