Answer to Question 1

C
Risk of mortality in individuals with a very low BMI is probably related to low levels of lean body mass, often related to smoking or disease. Low levels of body fat and inadequate fat intake are less likely to be associated with increased risk of mortality. Failure to store energy from in-gested food is rare.
