Choose the alternative that presents the correct interrogative form of the sentence below, taken from the text. 
  “Disease and malnutrition are closely linked”.

Read the text below.


                                      What is hunger?

      Acute hunger or starvation are often highlighted on TV
screens: hungry mothers too weak to breastfeed their children in
drought-hit Ethiopia, refugees in war-torn Syria queuing for food
rations, helicopters airlifting high energy biscuits to earthquake
victims in Haiti or Pakistan.


      These situations are the result of high profile crises like
war or natural disasters, which starve a population of food. Yet
emergencies account for less than eight percent of hunger's
victims.


      Daily undernourishment is a less visible form of hunger –
but it affects many more people, from the shanty towns of
Jakarta in Indonesia and the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh to
the mountain villages of Bolivia and Nepal. In these places,
hunger is much more than an empty stomach.


      For weeks, even months, its victims must live on
significantly less than the recommended 2,100 kilocalories that
the average person needs to lead a healthy life.


      The body compensates for the lack of energy by slowing
down its physical and mental activities. A hungry mind cannot
concentrate, a hungry body does not take initiative, a hungry
child loses all desire to play and study.


      Hunger also weakens the immune system. Deprived of the
right nutrition, hungry children are especially vulnerable and  become too weak to fight off disease and may die from common
infections like measles and diarrhea. Each year, almost 7 million
children die before reaching the age of five; malnutrition is a key
factor in over a third of these deaths

In 1998, Dr. Philip A. Starr started putting electrodes in people’s brains. A neurosurgeon at the University of California, San Francisco, Dr. Starr was treating people with Parkinson’s disease, which slowly destroys essential bits of brain tissue, robbing people of control of their bodies. At first, drugs had given his patients some relief, but now they needed more help. After the surgery, Dr. Starr closed up his patients’ skulls and switched on the electrodes, releasing a steady buzz of electric pulses in their brains. For many patients, the effect was immediate. “We have people who, when they’re not taking their meds, can be frozen,” said Dr. Starr. “When we turn on the stimulator, they start walking.” First developed in the early 1990s, deep brain stimulation, or D.B.S., was approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treating Parkinson’s disease in 2002. Since its invention, about 100,000 people have received implants. While D.B.S. doesn’t halt Parkinson’s, it can turn back the clock a few years for many patients. Yet despite its clear effectiveness, scientists like Dr. Starr have struggled to understand what D.B.S. actually does to the brain. “We do D.B.S. because it works,” said Dr. Starr, “but we don’t really know how.” In a recent experiment, Dr. Starr and his colleagues believe they found a clue. D.B.S. may counter Parkinson’s disease by liberating the brain from a devastating electrical lock-step.
