D

Answer to Question 2

Iron deficiency: During pregnancy, the increased volume of blood creates the need for additional iron for the hemoglobin for this blood. If the need is not met by the diet or by iron stores in the body, iron deficiency anemia develops. This is treated by a daily iron supplement.
Folate deficiency: A form of megaloblastic anemia that can occur during pregnancy, it is characterized by too few red blood cells and by large, immature red blood cells. The need for folic acid increases dramatically when new red blood cells are being formed.
