For all SC questions, I like to make sure that the sentence makes logical sense.

D as stated seems grammatically correct, but logically flawed.

D indicates that the pregnancy is complicated by increased risks in low birth weight.

cause : increased risk
effect : complicated pregnancy

Dont you think that the cause and effect should be reversed for the sentence to make sense logically.

I mean, shouldn't the sentence mean that the pregnancy is complicated and hence the risk of low birth weight was increased.

Don't get me wrong. I think D is the correct answer, but couldn't help wondering...

the problem with C is that "increasing" is a verb & cannot be precedded/joined by a comma i.e " , ".
Verb should be joined by a conjuction rather than comma. For eg choice D has "and" as conjunction.

Amardeep, I think C is incorrect because a conjunction(and)is missing.
