Explanation:

The passage emphasizes the importance of monitoring diet and physical activity (which includes recording and evaluating choices and progress) as a key step in managing a healthy weight. It mentions revisiting goals, using monitoring tools like BMI and the scale, and relying on a support network. The first option only focuses on BMI. The third option only highlights the support system part (and the last step is more about monitoring in general, not just the support system). The fourth option lists actions but doesn't capture the overall idea of monitoring (which is the main focus of the passage). The second option encompasses the main idea of recording (monitoring) and evaluating (to check if goals are met) as part of managing a healthy weight.

An important step to managing a healthy weight involves recording and evaluating choices and progress.
