  1. Vitamin C
  2. Iron
  3. Zinc

Explanation
Answer: B - A nutrient which may need to be supplemented in a breast-fed infant is iron, since breast milk provides inadequate levels of iron after the first few months of life. Vitamin C and pyridoxine levels in breast milk mirror the mother’s intake, and zinc is highly available from breast milk.
