Ans:
A

Feedback:

The period between days 15 and 60 is the most susceptible time during development. Vitamin A, not D, poses a particular risk, and only 2 to 3 of anomalies are attributable to drug and environmental factors. It is not necessary to categorically avoid medication but rather to use caution and heed FDA guidelines.
