Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Teenage mothers are less likely to receive early and adequate prenatal care as they may face financial, social, or emotional barriers to accessing healthcare. This can result in higher risk for complications during pregnancy and birth, as well as long-term developmental problems in the baby. Studies have shown that babies born to teenage mothers have higher rates of low birth weight, premature birth, and infant mortality compared to babies born to older women.
