The correct answer is D.

Childhood malnutrition occurs when the child is raised in poor conditions due to poverty. They will not receive enough food to keep them healthy and the food they do get is not of good nutritional value. This is common in third world countries that do not have the resources to maintain a healthy lifestyle for themselves or their children. Unfortunately this leads to one third of all deaths worldwide.
