Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
BMI is based on weight. Because muscle, bone, fat, and water all contribute to a body's weight and muscle can weigh more than fat, an individual may actually be in excellent condition.

Answer to Question 2

D
Noninvasive measurements of height, weight, circumferences, and skinfold thickness are known as anthropometric measurements. Biochemical measurements include blood and urine tests. Both anthropometric and biochemical measurements are objective. Some anthropometric measurements are mechanical, but this is not a recognized term.
