Question

cassandra is a very picky eater. she mostly eats cheese sandwiches and refuses to eat any vegetables or fruits. she has been getting sick a lot lately, and the doctor told her that her immune system is not functioning properly. her poor immune system is most likely due to a deficiency in which type of nutrient?
(1 point)

fats

water

vitamins

carbohydrates

Explanation:

Cassandra eats mostly cheese sandwiches (providing fats, carbs, some protein) and avoids veggies/fruits. Vitamins (especially from fruits/veggies) are crucial for immune function. Fats, water, and carbs don’t primarily drive immune health like vitamins (e.g., vitamin C, A, etc.) do. A vitamin deficiency from lack of fruits/veggies would most likely impair immunity.

Answer:

vitamins (the option labeled "vitamins")
