77: E
Infection, fever, breathing difficulty and recovery from the surgery put an extra need of energy on the body as the normal metabolism is disturbed due to disease or surgery. So, there is extra need to compensate the conditions.
78: C
Infant with Down's syndrome need lesser energy than the healthy counterpart. Since Down's syndrome makes the body muscles weak. If the infant would eat proper diet, the healthy body weight would not be supported by the weak muscles during crawling. So he would need lesser energy.
