Answer: D) Lean body mass

Explanation: According to the web lean body mass is the amount of weight you carry that isn't body fat. It includes muscle but also bones, water, and connective tissue, among other substances. Most scales provide overall body weight but little else regarding the actual composition of that weight.

Hope this helps ^_^

Answer: Lean body mass

Lean Body Mass is the total weight of your body; it includes the weight of all your organs, skin, bones, protein content, body water and your muscles minus all the weight due to your fat mass.

Therefore, any change in the weight of any of these can be recorded as changes in Lean Body Mass. Moreover, this describes fat-free mass of your body, which means lean.
