Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Disabilities can be caused in the pre-natal (before birth), post-natal (after birth), and perinatal (around birth) stages.

Answer 2

Disabilities can be caused in the pre-natal (before birth), post-natal (after birth), and perinatal (around birth) stages.

The pre-natal stage refers to the period before birth, during which disabilities can result from factors like genetic disorders, infections, or environmental influences that affect the fetus in the womb.

The perinatal stage occurs around the time of birth, and disabilities can arise from complications such as birth trauma, oxygen deprivation, or infections during labor and delivery.

The post-natal stage is after birth, where disabilities can be caused by factors like accidents, infections, or malnutrition, affecting the child as they grow and develop.
