Analyze the question and options

The question asks for the option that is NOT a possible cause of preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and signs of damage to another organ system, most often the liver and kidneys.

Evaluate each option

• A. genes: Genetic factors are known to play a role in the risk of developing preeclampsia.
• B. stress: High levels of stress can contribute to high blood pressure and are considered a potential risk factor/cause.
• C. low birth weight: Low birth weight is a potential consequence or effect of preeclampsia (due to reduced blood flow to the placenta), not a cause of it.
• D. autoimmune disorders: Autoimmune conditions increase the risk of developing preeclampsia.

Determine the correct choice

Since low birth weight is an outcome/effect rather than a cause, it is the correct exception.
