ANS: D
Poverty is the greatest threat to child health. Children in poverty have less access to nutritious food, shelter, and health care. They are often deprived of advantages such as good schools and may live in substandard housing, have stressful home lives, live surrounded by drugs and crime, and lack positive and nurturing adult role models.
