Answer:

d) folic acid

Explanation:

Neural tube defects (NTD) are birth defects that occur in some specialized regions such as the brain and spinal cord. They are considered and bethink as  a complex disorder because they are caused by combination of environmental and multiple genetic factors. Environmental factors include low folic acid intake, maternal use of certain anticonvulsant medications. etc. On the other hand multiple genetic factors can include spina bifida (an phenomena whereby there is incomplete closing of the spine and membranes surrouning the  spinal cord at the  initial stage of development of fetus in pregnancy.
