Answer 1

the answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

because a drug–nutrient interaction can cause :

- Stimulated or suppressed appetite (so a poor appetite)

- Decreased intestinal absorption (not just a change in absorption but an intestinal change in absorption)

- Increased renal secretion

- Competition or displacement of nutrients for protein carrier sites
