[CLO3] Q24: A researcher collected data on obesity status of children and the smoking status of the mother during the pregnancy. He wishes to compare the odds of obesity among those whose mother smoked throughout the pregnancy with the odds of obesity among those whose mother did not smoke during pregnancy.

b) had a father who smoked throughout the pregnancy.
c) had a mother who smoked throughout the pregnancy
d) none of the previous
