Her physical statistics include a height of 157 cm (5 feet 2 inches) and a weight of 54 kg (120 pounds).

The suggested amount might be too high and requires professional medical consultation.**Correct Guidance:****C) She should aim for a total weight gain of 11 kg (25 pounds) to 16 kg (35 pounds).**Maintaining a balanced diet that includes a variety of nutrients is essential for the health of both the mother and the developing baby.
