Question

which of the following is true about body composition?
○ two people can weigh the same but have different body compositions.
○ body composition and weight are the same thing.
○ an unhealthy body composition will not harm you.
○ fat does not help your body.

Explanation:

• For the option "Two people can weigh the same but have different body compositions": Body composition refers to the proportion of fat, muscle, bone, etc. in the body. Two people with the same weight can have different amounts of fat, muscle, etc. (e.g., one with more muscle and less fat, another with more fat and less muscle), so this is true.
• "Body composition and weight are the same thing" is false as weight is a measure of mass (including all components), while body composition is the ratio of those components.
• "An unhealthy body composition will not harm you" is false as unhealthy body composition (e.g., too much fat, too little muscle) can lead to health issues like diabetes, heart disease.
• "Fat does not help your body" is false as fat is essential for energy storage, hormone production, insulation, etc.

Answer:

A. Two people can weigh the same but have different body compositions
