Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Infants who weigh less than 90% of infants of the same gestational age are considered small-for-date, also known as small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants. This term is preferred over too-small-for-date because it implies a growth restriction rather than just being born early (preterm) or as a result of maternal factors.
