The answer is the fourth one: small for date.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Preterm: This term refers to a baby born before 37 weeks of gestation. Since Baby Juan-Carlos was born full term, this option is incorrect.

  2. Premature: Similar to preterm, this term also refers to a baby born before the completion of 37 weeks of gestation. Since Baby Juan-Carlos was born full term, this option is also incorrect.

  3. Normal: This term would apply if the baby was born with a weight appropriate for their gestational age. Since Baby Juan-Carlos was underweight for his gestational age, this option is incorrect.

  4. Small for date: This term refers to a baby who is born at full term but has a lower weight than expected for their gestational age. Since Baby Juan-Carlos was underweight for his gestational age, this is the correct option.

Summary: Baby Juan-Carlos, who was born full term but underweight for his gestational age, would be considered "small for date."
