Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Heavy alcohol consumption during pregnancy can lead to a range of birth defects including cognitive disabilities, heart problems, and facial and limb deformities. Marijuana use and caffeine use have not been shown to have such severe effects on fetal development, and while cocaine use can lead to complications during pregnancy, it is not typically associated with the specific birth defects listed.
