Choice A reason: Hyperbilirubinemia is incorrect because it is not a major complication of infants of diabetic mothers.

It can occur in any newborn, but it is more common in premature babies, babies with blood type incompatibility, or babies with infections.

Choice B reason: Hypoglycemia is correct because it is a major complication of infants of diabetic mothers. It is a condition where the baby has low blood sugar levels, which can cause seizures, lethargy, or poor feeding. It can occur because the baby's pancreas produces too much insulin in response to the mother's high blood sugar levels during pregnancy.

Choice C reason: Hypoinsulinemia is incorrect because it is not a major complication of infants of diabetic mothers. It is a condition where the body does not produce enough insulin, which can cause high blood sugar levels. It can occur in children or adults with type 1 diabetes, but not in newborns of diabetic mothers.
