Correct Answer: A

The recommended range for serum glucose levels during pregnancy is between 70 mg/dL and 120 mg/dL to reduce the risk of perinatal mortality. Maintaining glucose levels within this range helps to minimize the risk of complications for both the mother and fetus. Levels above 120 mg/dL can increase the risk of complications such as macrosomia and neonatal hypoglycemia, while levels below 70 mg/dL can lead to maternal hypoglycemia, which can be dangerous for both the mother and the child.
