The correct answer is C. He may eventually spend a large amount of money on health costs.

Lyle is considered obese and is possibly putting his health at risk which could mean potential medical expenses in the future. He should spend extra money at the grocery store to buy healthier food as in the long run it could mean better health and no additional medical expenses.
