Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
HRT is helpful to prevent bone loss, but the risks of cardiovascular complications and cancer have made the choice of HRT controversial.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Decrease in muscle mass is replaced with adipose tissue, which frequently changes the appearance of the body, but not the weight.
