a. he is at a slight risk of weight - related diseases.

b. he is at high risk of diabetes and hypertension.

c. he is at average risk of liver and heart problems.

Explanation:

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measure used to assess weight - related health risks. A BMI of 30 or higher is classified as obese. Obese individuals are at a high risk of developing chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension due to factors like insulin resistance (related to diabetes) and increased vascular resistance (related to hypertension) that are often associated with excess body fat. A BMI of 18.5 - 24.9 is considered normal (average risk for many weight - related diseases), 25 - 29.9 is overweight (slight to moderate risk depending on other factors), and 30+ is obese (higher risk for multiple weight - related chronic conditions).

Answer:

B. He is at high risk of diabetes and hypertension.
