A deficiency of _____ produces Marasmus?
Fats
Calorie
Proteins
Both b & c
A deficiency of proteins and calories causes Marasmus. This deficiency occurs when infants below the age of 1 year are transitioned too early from breast milk to foods that are low in proteins and calories. This results in a severe form of malnutrition characterized by insufficient intake of both nutrients. Therefore, option D is correct as it states that marasmus is caused by a deficiency of both proteins and calories. Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
