a. low birthweight

Explanation:

Normal gestation period is around 40 weeks before babies are being born with fully developed system and are capable of leading a normal life without intensive care. Preterm or premature birth are births that occur before the 37th week of pregnancy.

Average weight of full-term babies (babies born between 37–40 weeks) is around 7 pounds (3.17 kg) at birth, with a normal weight ranging from 5 lb 8 oz to 8 lb 13 oz.

Full-term babies who weigh below this range could be said to have low birth weight.

americans began to notice growing differences between the northern and southern sections of the country. there were more people living in cities in the north, which made it more urban. more people lived on farms in the south, which made it more rural. while many people were farmers in the northern states, there were now other ways to make a living, such as working in mechanical cotton gins factories manufacturing cloth, tools and other goods. people in the north supported high tariffs on goods imported from europe because the extra cost encouraged people to “buy american” instead. in the southern states, planters did not like tariffs because they sold most of their production to europe and bought their tools from there as well. southerners believed the protective tariff was something that only northern factory owners keep their profits high. so the southern politicians came up with an idea. they would opt out. they would simply ignore the protective tariff. it was ‘null and void’ in south carolina. the state would not collect the taxes on goods imported into south carolina, no matter what the president said they had to do. this decision led to the nullification crisis.
