Answer:

b.

Step-by-step explanation:

BMI is body mass index, it is calculated by dividing the weight of a person in kilogram by square of height in meters.

A high BMI is an indicator of obesity. Obese people are prone to death causing diseases like High Blood pressure, cardiac arrest and diabatese. So, a high value of BMI values has the highest increased risk for premature mortality.

So the correct answer is 35 kg/m^2.
