The answer is False: A primary deficiency occurs when the body is unable to use the nutrients consumed efficiently.

Explanation:

  • A primary deficiency actually refers to a situation where there is an inadequate intake of nutrients in the diet. This means that the body is not receiving enough of a particular nutrient from the food consumed.
  • The statement in the question describes a secondary deficiency, which occurs when the body is unable to use the nutrients consumed efficiently due to issues such as malabsorption, metabolic problems, or other health conditions.

Summary: The statement provided in the question is false because it incorrectly describes a primary deficiency. A primary deficiency is due to inadequate intake, not the body's inability to use nutrients efficiently.
