Solution

The correct answer is c) III and IV.

Explanation:

Statement III is incorrect because Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become porous and fragile due to loss of bone mass, not due to loss of Vitamin K.

Statement IV is also incorrect because Osteoporosis does not only occur in females. While it is more common in females, especially post-menopausal women, it can also occur in males.
