The deficiency of which nutrient is referred as "Hidden Hunger"?
Answer: D
The keyed answer is iron.
Hidden hunger is the term for deficiency of micronutrients, vitamins and minerals, that can exist even when a person eats enough calories, so the person does not feel hungry and the problem stays hidden. Iron deficiency is the most widespread of these and the leading cause of anaemia, which is why it is the micronutrient offered here.
Energy, fat and protein are macronutrients. A shortage of them causes visible undernutrition such as wasting and kwashiorkor, the opposite of hidden hunger.
