Question

a. increased cholesterol
b. organ failure
c. death
d. altered hormones
please select the best answer from the choices provided.

Explanation:

• Increased cholesterol is typically associated with having too much body fat (e.g., high - fat diets that lead to obesity can increase cholesterol levels).
• Too little body fat can lead to organ failure (as body fat provides cushioning and support to organs, and also plays a role in hormone regulation which is important for organ function).
• Death can occur if the body fat percentage is extremely low for an extended period (due to multiple system failures).
• Altered hormones (e.g., in women, too little body fat can disrupt the menstrual cycle as body fat is involved in estrogen production).

Answer:

A. increased cholesterol
