The correct option is C

Kwashiorkor


Kwashiorkor

Kwashiorkor is a severe form of malnutrition. It's most common in some developing regions of the world where babies and children have a diet that lacks protein and other essential nutrients. The main sign of kwashiorkor is too much fluid in the body's tissues, which causes swelling under the skin.
