Explanation:

For the first question, chromosomal abnormalities, inherent disposition, and genotype are genetic factors, not environmental. Nutrition from the mother is an environmental influence on early - life physical development.
For the second question, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months.
For the third question, obesity has increased across all age groups in the US, including infancy. An overweight child with obese parents is at high risk of becoming obese later. Infants in the US don't eat 20% less on average, and lack of iron - enriched solids doesn't lead to obesity.

Answer:

1. d. The nutrition provided by the mother
2. a. breast milk exclusively for the first six months
3. b. Obesity has increased in infancy as it has in all age groups in the United States.
