a. do more exercise
b. sleep more each day
c. reduce the amount of calories he eats
d. reduce his stress levels
please select the best answer from the choices provided

Explanation:

Weight loss occurs when there is a calorie deficit, meaning the body burns more calories than it consumes. While exercise (option a) can contribute to calorie burning, if calorie intake remains high, weight loss may not occur. Sleep (option b) and stress reduction (option d) are important for overall health but do not directly create a calorie deficit. Reducing calorie intake (option c) directly affects the calorie balance, which is crucial for weight loss.

Answer:

C. reduce the amount of calories he eats
