Answer:

It is apparent that Gabriel is suffering from malnutrition

Explanation:

According to the WHO, malnutrition refers to deficiencies, excesses, or imbalances in a person’s intake of energy and/or nutrients. The term malnutrition implies three groups of conditions:

undernutrition, which includes wasting (low weight-for-height), stunting (low height-for-age, which seems to be Gabriel's case, as he is very small for his age) and underweight (low weight-for-age, again Gabriel's case, as he weighs a fraction of what most infants his age weigh);

micronutrient-related malnutrition, which includes micronutrient deficiencies (a lack of important vitamins and minerals); this also seems to apply to Gabriel's case, as there is little food at Gabriel's home and his mother is more worried about cigarettes than about baby food. There is no food of quality at Gabriel's home and no awareness whatsoever of healthy feeding habits;  and

overweight. This group does not apply to Gabriel's case.

Apparently, there is also failure to provide child support in Gabriel's case.

How does food with proper nutrients benefit you?
klasskru [66]
The answer to this question would be  <span>A.) It provides energy and fights infections.

The nutrient is a substance that needed to maintain life. This included carbohydrate which gives most energy, an amino acid that makes protein and used for making cells, or vitamin for reaction coenzyme. 
The option in this question is not clear and I think all of them can be said as a benefit of nutrient. The option A is about carbohydrate, option B and C about protein/amino acid and option C about vitamin.
But the most vital need for an organism is energy, so I think A will be the best option if you need to choose only one.</span>
