Which constraint results in a lethal hypothermic condition in newborns during extended exposure at low ambient temperatures?

💡 Explanation

Insufficient muscle mass limits a newborn's shivering thermogenesis capacity where metabolic heat production is inadequate, because the **muscle contraction** mechanism isn't fully developed; therefore, hypothermia becomes critical, rather than surface area or evaporative limitations.
