The answer is A. This is because food provides the energy your body needs to grow and the energy and strength to fend off diseases because of a weak immune system. I hope this was helpful :)

Correct answer choice is :


A) Has a decreased ability to fight off disease and poor growth.


Step-by-step explanation:


A person may be underweight due to heredity, metabolism, drug use, the absence of food, eating disturbance, or sickness. Being underweight is connected with several medical forms, including diabetes, hyperthyroidism, cancer, or tuberculosis. People with gastrointestinal or liver difficulties may be inadequate to digest nutrients sufficiently. People with several eating disorders can also be underweight due to loss of nutrients.
