When a child's weight and height fall significantly below the average, they are classified as...

  1. Undernourished

  2. Malnourished

  3. Failure to thrive

  4. Stunted growth

The correct answer is: Failure to thrive

Children who are classified as failure to thrive have a weight and height that falls significantly below the average for their age. This is different from undernourished or malnourished, as those terms refer to a lack of proper nutrition. Stunted growth is also not the same as failure to thrive, as stunted growth refers specifically to a child's height being below the expected range.
