Their babies will always be healthy.

There is no effect on the infant's birth weight.

The risk of micronutrient deficiencies decreases.

Micronutrient deficiencies can perpetuate a cycle of undernutrition across generations by causing undernourished babies to grow into undernourished adolescents, who may become pregnant and give birth to low-birth weight infants at greater risk of micronutrient deficiencies, continuing the cycle. Which of the following best explains this process?

Undernourished babies tend to grow into undernourished adolescents, who may become pregnant and give birth to low-birth weight infants at greater risk of micronutrient deficiencies, continuing the cycle.
