The correct answer is option c.

Risk factors for gestational diabetes typically include a family history of diabetes, excessive weight gain during pregnancy, and a history of gestational diabetes in prior pregnancies. However, being underweight (low BMI) during pregnancy is generally not considered a risk factor for gestational diabetes. In fact, having a low BMI may decrease the risk of developing gestational diabetes. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is "c. Being underweight (low BMI) during pregnancy."
