Solution

The correct option is A Malnutrition
Kwashiorkor is a form of malnutrition that occurs when there is not enough protein in the diet.
Causes: Kwashiorkor is most common in areas where there is famine, limited food supply, low levels of education (when people do not understand how to eat a proper diet).
This disease is more common in very poor countries. It often occurs during a drought or other natural disaster, or during political unrest. These conditions are responsible for a lack of food, which leads to malnutrition.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
