Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Pica has many different causes. Iron and zinc deficiencies may result in the
urge to ingest certain foods or substances, but many people without these conditions
also engage in pica. Environmental factors (stress and impoverished living
environments) or developmental disorders are important causal factors. Among people without psychological disorders, pica sometimes begins after
stressful events such as surgery or the loss of a family member.
Because it is so rare, the etiology of rumination disorder is unstudied and, therefore,
unknown.
