Which APGAR interpretation matches a score of 0-3 with distress level?

Explanation:
APGAR scoring uses five quick assessments—appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, and respiration—with each scored 0 to 2. A total of 0 to 3 signals severe distress, meaning the baby is likely not breathing well, has a weak or absent pulse, little to no movement or reaction, and poor color. This combination requires immediate resuscitation and close monitoring. Scores of 4 to 6 reflect moderate distress, and 7 to 10 indicate good condition.
