.:|:. Answer .:|:.

Took brakes in their travels to pick wild berries and dig for roots

.:|:. Explanation \ Reasoning .:|:.

First off, malnutrition is not being able to eat enough food that your body needs. It is also not being able to eat the *right* foods your body needs, and it is just lacking the proper diet / nourishment. To avoid this, travelers on the Oregon Trail would stop to pick berries and dig for roots. You can find good nourishment and get the right amount of energy from certain berries and roots.

Option A would seem like the correct answer, but it is not. Travelers on the trail did *not* pack fruits and vegetables in their wagon. The first reason is because the fruits and vegetables would go bad in about a day. The second reason is that not everyone had access to these fruits and vegetables. Also, they couldn't just eat them every day and get new ones. There were hardly any stores that they could buy them from, and it would take way to long to grow them.

Option B is also incorrect. They would not purchase a dairy cow, seeing that the cow could die easily from lack of food and water, disease, etc. Milk is also not great / full nourishment. You can't just eat dairy and milk for a meal, and some people might have been allergic to dairy.

Option D is also incorrect. They did not drink coffee with every meal. That is not at all healthy, and not everyone had access to coffee. Just like milk, it does not give you proper nourishment.

Option A *Is Correct*
