12. C. Stunting
Stunting is defined as impaired growth and development experienced due to poor nutrition. It is
a type of CHRONIC MALNUTRITION. Children who are stunted are too short for their age. It is
largely an irreversible outcome of inadequate nutrition and repeated bouts of infection during
the first 1000 days of a child’s life. Children who are stunted do less well at school and earn
lower wages as adults.
