Solution
The correct option is D Albumin
- Kwashiorkor, a disease of protein malnutrition, causes low level of blood proteins (serum albumins), which cause poor return of tissue fluid through capillaries. It leads to the swelling of tissues through increase of its tissue fluid which results into oedema.
- So,(D) albumin is the correct option.
