Answer 1

The correct option is A.

decreased appetite associated with decreased growth rate

Step-by-step explanation:

Feeding problems may develop in preschool age because of decreased appetite associated with decreased growth rate and this is because at the preschool age, there is no rapid growth, the growth rate is reduced which is as a result of decreased appetite for food. We all know that food supply the body with energy and necessary nutrients for growth. When there is decreased appetite enough food needed for growth will not be consumed , hence decrease growth rate.
