Increased blood viscosity is not the most likely cause of respiratory distress in a macrosomic newborn of a mother with poorly controlled diabetes.

Choice C rationale

A brachial plexus injury is a potential complication of delivery for macrosomic infants, but it is not a cause of respiratory distress syndrome.

Choice D rationale

Increased deposits of fat in the chest and shoulder areas can make delivery more difficult and can increase the risk of birth injuries, but they are not the most likely cause of respiratory distress syndrome in a macrosomic newborn of a mother with poorly controlled diabetes.
