b. Healthy weight
c. Overweight
d. Obese

Answer 1

Sandra is considered obese.

Step-by-step explanation:

When someone weighs more than what is generally accepted as healthy for a given height, they are considered overweight or obese. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an adult with a body mass index (BMI) greater than 30 kg/m² is considered obese. Sandra being more than 20% above her ideal weight would fall into the category of obese.
