Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A prominent clitoris with small labia majora is a characteristic of prematurity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Deterioration of the placenta causes acute or chronic hypoxia, which can lead to asphyxia, meconium aspiration, and polycythemia. There is also a risk for hypoglycemia after birth because glycogen stores are depleted, leaving insufficient glucose reserves.
