Answer: A
Marasmus is caused by severe deficiency of proteins and calories.
Marasmus is a form of severe protein-energy malnutrition in which the child gets too little food overall. The body uses up its fat and muscle, leaving a very thin, wasted child with an 'old man' face, but without oedema.
Kwashiorkor is the form mainly due to protein deficiency with relatively adequate calories, so 'only proteins' describes that, not marasmus. Vitamins A and D are not the cause of marasmus.
