Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Taking an iron supplement can help prevent or treat anemia, which can decrease the amount of oxygen that reaches the tissues. The other statements do not directly address the increased oxygen demand during pregnancy. Drinking more fluids, taking a multivitamin, and eating fruits and vegetables are all important for overall health during pregnancy but do not specifically relate to oxygen demand.
