Which is the most likely utilitarian option? (Why do you say this?)

As for options A, B and C, they are inhumane. Most of the countries that have lack of resources are the poorest countries were children cannot even have descent food to eat let alone health resources, therefore malnutrition might be the primary cause of diseases as the immune system is not strong enough to fight them off.

We have a saying in Setswana that “tshila ga e
