Explanation of Each Option:
· (a) Defects at birth – Correct ✅
· Defects at birth are one of the key focuses of the RBSK program. The goal is to identify congenital conditions such as heart defects or cleft lips early.
· (b) Deficiencies – Correct ✅
· Deficiencies like malnutrition or vitamin deficiencies are also screened under RBSK. This includes iron deficiency anemia or vitamin D deficiencies.
· (c) Diabetes – Incorrect ❌ (Correct Answer)
· Diabetes is not part of the screening focus of RBSK. While diabetes is a concern for health, the program does not target it under the 4 D's. RBSK focuses on defects, deficiencies, developmental delays, and diseases but not specifically diabetes.

· Developmental delays, including delays in physical and mental growth, are part of the RBSK screening to ensure early intervention for conditions such as autism or speech delays.
