The correct answer should be 70 grams but since that's not one of the options you should choose the closest to it, which is 65 grams.

The recommended intake of protein for the pregnant woman is 70 g to meet protein needs during pregnancy, while non-pregnant is only 45g/day.
If the woman doesn't get enough protein,she may experience muscle fatigue or fluid retention.
