A.

50,000 IU

B.

100,000 IU

C.

200,000 IU

D.

300,000 IU

Correct option is B

The recommended dose of Vitamin A for 9-month-old infants is 100,000 IU. This is in line with global health recommendations, especially in areas where Vitamin A deficiency is prevalent. Supplementation helps prevent night blindness and other complications related to deficiency.
Explanation of Options:
(a) 50,000 IU is typically recommended for newborns or infants aged 6 months, not for 9-month-olds.
(b) 100,000 IU is the correct and widely recommended dose for infants aged 9 months to prevent Vitamin A deficiency.
(c) 200,000 IU is usually prescribed for children aged 12 months and older.
(d) 300,000 IU is a higher dose used in cases of severe deficiency but not for routine supplementation at 9 months.​
