ques.16) correct answer is ' d '.

that is, ' The Cardiovascular supply of the lungs is impaired.

Explaination

When the baby is not being stressed ( bathing or eating) , the infant appears normal.

But under stress infant becomes cyanotic because some of the blood flow to the lungs is being shunted over to the aorta during stress and eating, too little blood is being oxygenated, so the infant becomes cyanotic.
