THe correct answer is B. Spina bifida.

Explanation

Neural tube or NTD defects are birth defects of the brain and spinal cord. These defects change the shape or function of one or more parts of the body. Also, they can cause problems in general health, and the development or functioning of the body. These defects occur in about 3,000 pregnancies per year in the United States. One of the most common NTDs is spina bifida in which the tiny bones of the spine do not close completely, and a part of the spinal cord sold by the spine. Children with spina bifida lose mobility of the legs and problems with bladder and bowel control that make it difficult for them to go to the bathroom to meet their physiological needs. So, the correct answer is B. Spina bifida.

True or false, most lakes grow larger over time due to erosion?
ipn [44]

Answer: False

A lake is a water body that is surrounded by land. The water in the lake comes from melting glaciers, rain, groundwater, rivers. Lake formation also occurs when a water body is restricted to it's natural flow. Erosion due to wind  and water will limit the life of lake. As, soil removed during landslides or mudslides from hills or mountains get settled as debris at the bottom of lake will cause water pollution. Also, soil coming from agricultural field through water will carry in it fertilizers ,which will promote excessive plant and algal growth in lakes therefore, oxygen content of lake water will decrease which lead to death of animals residing in lake hence, will ultimately lead to water pollution ,which will be responsible for limiting the life of lake.
