There are choices for this question namely:

a. Her waist is 36 inches.
b. Her triglyceride level is 140 mg/dL.
c. Her blood pressure (BP) is 128/84.
d. Her fasting blood sugar (BS) is 108 mg/dL.

The correct answer is that her waist is 36 inches. The criteria for metabolic syndrome include a large waist circumference (>35 inches for women, >40 inches for men), high triglyceride level (>150 mg/dL), reduced HDL or good cholesterol (<40 mg/dL), elevated blood pressure (>130/85 mmHg), and elevated fasting blood sugar (>100 mg/dL). While her fasting blood sugar is elevated at 108 mg/dL, more specific criteria is the waist circumference.
