.................. during the birth process leads to cerebral palsy.

  • A.Anoxia
  • B.Anorexia
  • C.Teratogens
  • D.Maternal anxiety

Answer: A

Anoxia during birth can lead to cerebral palsy.

Anoxia, a lack of oxygen to the baby's brain during labour and delivery (for example from a compressed umbilical cord or a long, difficult birth), can kill or damage brain cells that control movement, producing cerebral palsy.

Anorexia is an eating disorder. Teratogens act during pregnancy, not during the birth process itself. Maternal anxiety may affect the pregnancy but is not a direct cause of brain damage at birth.
