Expert Solution

Step 1

iii) The correct option is postdates neonate.

Postdate neonates or newborns are more prone to cold stress syndrome (limited thermoregulatory capability accounting for the low core temperature) as compared to older infants because of their incompetence to regulate and maintain core body temperature as their body weight is lower compared to their total skin surface area. Higher skin surface area promotes heat loss when exposed to the environment, thus, increasing the risk of cold stress syndrome in newborns.
