Answer 1

The correct answer is D. It is true that more than one in three adults in the United States is obese.

Step-by-step explanation:

Obesity is a nutritional disorder in which the body carries so much body fat that it is harmful to health and is expected to lead to a shorter life span. Individuals with a BMI, a measure of obesity based on length-to-weight comparison, between 25 kg/m2 and 30 kg/m2 are considered overweight, while a BMI over 30 kg/m2 defines obesity.

In the United States, according to official statistics of 2016, 39.8% of the population is obese. Minors suffer obesity rates of 20 percent.
