Question

A. She could have trouble breathing.
B. She could have a higher risk of skeletal fractures.
C. She could have frequent headaches.
D. She could become more vulnerable to infections.

Answer 1

The answer is B, if your body doesn’t consume enough vitamin D, it takes calcium from your bones. This is called losing bone mass. Losing bone mass makes the inside of your bones weaker and have a higher risk of fractures (especially children).
