The best fit would be A. The high risk would be a BMI higher than that.

Answer:

B. He is at high risk of diabetes and hypertension.

Step-by-step explanation:

BMI is an important tool that is used to establish the prevalence of underweight, excess weight and obesity in adults. It is considered that there is obesity when the BMI is greater than 25 and 30. Normally, it is considered a high-risk BMI when it is equal to or greater than 30, increasing the risks of suffering from conditions such as diabetes or hypertension.
