Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C), (D)

The correct options are
A Unhealthy growth in children.
C Weak immune system and vulnerability to diseases.
D Mothers give birth to unhealthy and weak babies.

Undernourished children do not grow as quickly as healthy children. Mentally, they may develop more slowly. Constant hunger weakens the immune system and makes them more vulnerable to diseases and infections. Mothers living with constant hunger often give birth to underweight and weak babies.
