Correct Answer: Only statement B is correct


Solution : The correct option is Only statement B is correct.

Kwashiorkor is a form of severe malnutrition that primarily affects children. It is caused by a deficiency of protein in the diet, not a lack of fat. Children who develop Kwashiorkor may experience stunted growth and development, and if not treated promptly, it can have long-lasting effects on their health.
