The answer is none of these.

BMI is the Body Mass Index, which is the body mass divided by the square of body height.

Generally for a BMI measurement to be considered underweight, it would be below 18.5, which none of the above match it's standard of being underweight, as all 22,30, and 40 are above 18.5.

However, sometimes it might also take count of the age, which might affect the result.

Hope it helps!

Hello!

The answer to this would be none of these.

BMI (Body Mass Index) has a range that follows this:

Less than 18.5 = Underweight

18.5-24.9 = Normal Weight

25-29.9 = Overweight

More than 30 = Obese


As you can see the BMI measurements provided could only be considered underweight if they were under 18.5


Hope this helps answer your question!
