The problems described regarding fetal alcohol spectrum disorders may vary how?

• A. They vary greatly among individuals
• B. They always decrease with age
• C. They always increase with age
• D. They stay the same

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that fetal alcohol spectrum disorders produce a wide range of effects that differ from person to person. The amount and timing of alcohol exposure, along with genetics, nutrition, and the postnatal environment, shape which problems appear and how severe they are. Because of this, the problems described can vary greatly among individuals.

Regarding age, some physical features may become less noticeable over time, but cognitive and behavioral challenges can persist, change, or become more evident as a person grows and faces new demands. So the overall pattern is not uniform or fixed; it varies across individuals, which is why this option is the best description.
