Solution

The correct option is A

True


Malnutrition occurs when all nutrients that the body needs are not obtained in proper proportions from the diet. Junk food contains high amounts of refined flour, sugar and oil. Many nutrients are lost during the making of junk food. Hence, frequent consumption of junk food would lead to shortage of proteins, vitamins and minerals.
