The best answer to this question would be B. Pregnant females

However, it's suggested that reproductive-aged females who are planning on becoming pregnant would benefit greatly by taking folic acid years before having a baby, as neural tube defects happen long before a women know she's pregnant. Taking the folic acid consistently, years before becoming pregnant can significantly reduce the risk of neural tube defects like spina bifida.
