Answer:

A. protein

Step-by-step explanation:

Protein deficiency can happen when a person does not consume enough protein to fulfill his body requirements. Although this problem can happen in the developed world, it is a lot more common in the developing world. Protein deficiency can lead to a variety of problems such as edema, fatty liver, loss of muscle, greater risk of bone fractures and stunted growth.
