Correct answer choice is :

D) Malnourishment is a result of overpopulation.

Explanation:

Malnutrition is a situation that occurs from eating a diet in which one or more nutrients are either not enough or are too much such that the diet creates health dilemmas. It may include calories, protein, carbohydrates, vitamins or minerals. Malnutrition happens when a person does not obtain sufficient nutrients from the diet. This creates damage to the vital glands and functions of the body. Shortage of food is the most reason of malnutrition in the poorer and developing countries.
