    C) Small for gestational age

    Explanation:

    According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

    A) Large for gestational age

    B) Normal for gestational age

    C) Small for gestational age

    A baby who is 39 weeks should generally be above 2,500 grams. Therefore, as this baby is 2,000 grams, then he would be considered small for his gestational age. This condition is most likely a consequence of the mother's unhealthy habits. The fact that she is a smoker and a cocaine addict has likely led to intrauterine growth retar. dation and low birth weight.
