Answer 2

B. Inactive people use more energy so they should consume fewer calories.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of energy that humans spend daily can be divided into three parts: 10% is used in the process of digestion and absorption of food; 15% to 30% in physical exercise and 60% to 75% in physiological activities that keep the body functioning at rest.

As you can see, most of the energy in the human cup is spent on the physiological activities that keep the body functioning at rest. Since this energy comes from an individual's daily calorie intake, we can say that it is unhealthy for an inactive person to eat fewer calories, thinking that the energy expenditure his body will expend will be less than that of an active person.
