Answer:

Considering it does not say his weight, I will stick with a standard weight of lets say 170? BMI is the body mass index which for a 5'10 man who is 170, that is roughly around 24 which is healthy. 35 as the BMI is considered a risk of malnutrition and which means thaat Dominique may be considered obese

B
BMI is a measure of how a person’s weight compares to their height. A BMI of over 30 is considered obese. Dominique very likely has a high risk of weight-related diseases (so choice A is wrong) and likely has been eating well and not exercising, since he is obese (Choice C is wrong). Those that are obese are at risk for heart disease, diabetes and more (Choice B is correct)
