What is the folate requirement during pregnancy?

200 mcg DFE/day
400 mcg/day
600 mcg DFE/day
800 mcg DFE/day

The correct answer is: 600 mcg DFE/day

During pregnancy, the folate requirement is increased to support the rapid cell division and growth of the developing fetus. Folate is crucial for preventing neural tube defects in the baby. The correct answer is 600 mcg DFE/day (Choice C) because this is the recommended daily intake for pregnant individuals to meet their increased folate needs. Option A (200 mcg DFE/day), Option B (400 mcg/day), and Option D (800 mcg DFE/day) do not reflect the appropriate folate requirement during pregnancy.
