A 6-month-old infant is brought for a well-child visit. The mother reports the infant has been exclusively breastfed and has not received any supplements. Physical examination is unremarkable. Which of the following nutritional supplements should be recommended?

A Iron.
B Vitamin C.
C Fluoride.
D Vitamin D.

✓ Correct Answer: Option D

Exclusively breastfed infants require vitamin D supplementation from birth to prevent rickets, as breast milk alone does not provide sufficient amounts of vitamin D.
