Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The amount of Vitamin B-12 in the body is important for brain functioning, and a deficiency in B-12 can lead to dementia-like symptoms. Therefore, measuring the amount of B-12 in the body can rule out the possibility of such symptoms being caused by a B-12 deficiency. Options A, B, and D do not relate to evaluating dementia or ruling out dementia-like symptoms.
