Answer:
D.Cognitive disabilities and birth defects
Explanation:
Fetal alcoholism syndrome is the set of signs and symptoms presented by the fetus as a result of alcohol intake by the mother during pregnancy and during the preconception period. The symptoms of this syndrome have congenital defects and cognitive deficiencies, among which are growth deficit, changes in facial features and delayed neuropsychomotor development. It is currently considered the biggest cause of preventable intellectual deficit in the world.
The cause of fetal alcohol syndrome is the mother's intake of alcohol in large quantities during pregnancy. The minimum level of ethanol (alcohol) that results in fetal alcohol syndrome has not yet been established. The degree of involvement of the babies depends not only on how much the mother ingested, but also on the period of pregnancy in which this consumption occurred.
