Answer: Ailani is most likely deficient in calcium.

Other food that can be used to meet her nutrient needs include sesame seeds, almonds, sardines, oats, calcium-fortified vegetable milk, spinach, beets, tofu, etc.

Explanation: Calcium is one of the most important minerals, as it is responsible for the constitution of bones and teeth, and is fundamental for the maintenance of various functions of the body, such as muscle contraction, blood coagulation, transmission of nerve impulses and secretion of hormones.
