Answer 1

B- she could have a higher risk of skeletal fractures.

Answer 2

The correct answer would be B)She could have a higher risk of skeletal fractures.

Calcium is a mineral which is essential for various functions in our body such as maintenance of bone health, teeth, transmission of nerve impulse, blood clotting et cetera.

The body fulfills its calcium requirement either from the food sources or from calcium reserves of the body which are primarily bones.

Deficiency of calcium in the body results in more and more uptake of calcium from bones which results in weakening of bones.

It increases the chances of osteoporosis and the frequency of fractures.
