Willie and His Mom Have Been Homeless for Two Years

Willie and his mom have been homeless for two years, mostly eating at missions and shelters at night and from dumpsters in the day. Willie, 9 years old, has gained only a few pounds of weight in the last two years. It is likely that:

A) he is getting adequate nutrition, as shelters and missions are careful to provide sound meals.
B) his growth will be stunted.
C) he will have a big growth spurt, catching up in weight, when he has more access to better food.
D) he will very soon die.
