question 7 which of the following occurs when the proper amount of vitamins is not consumed? ○ macronutrient deficiency ○ food insecurity ○ micronutrient deficiency ○ protein - energy malnutrition

Explanation:

1. Analyze "Macronutrient deficiency": Macronutrients are carbohydrates, proteins, fats. Vitamins are not macronutrients, so this is incorrect.

3. Analyze "Micronutrient deficiency": Vitamins are micronutrients. Not consuming proper amounts of vitamins leads to micronutrient deficiency, so this is correct.
4. Analyze "Protein - energy malnutrition": It involves insufficient protein and energy (from macronutrients), not related to vitamins, so incorrect.
