All of the choices are correct symptoms of iron deficiency anemia. Shortness of breath is due to the lack of oxygen-carrying capacity in the blood caused by low levels of hemoglobin. Dizziness can occur due to poor circulation and low energy levels. Pale skin results from decreased amounts of red blood cells and hemoglobin, causing less coloration in the skin. Coldness in the hands and feet are also due to poor circulation, as well as the body's attempt to preserve heat in vital organs.
