Answer:

The options

a. riboflavin

b. vitamin D

c. pantothenic acid

d. folic acid

The CORRECT ANSWER IS d.

d. Folic acid

Explanation:

Having a healthy baby means staying healthy. Getting sufficient folic acid each day — mostly before conception and at early pregnancy as it reduces risk of serious neural tube defects (partial development of the brain and spinal cord) to a very large extent.

Folic acid (or folate) is a B vitamin (B9) found majorly in dark green vegetables (broccoli and spinach), legumes(beans and peas) and enriched grains.

It is essential for all women of childbearing age to get sufficient folic acid (necessary for cell growth and development plus DNA formation too)— not just those who are trying to conceive.
