c. how did michelle obama’s “let’s move” campaign provide resources to obese children to help them lose weight?
d. why did michelle obama decide to introduce her “let’s move” campaign to fight obesity in children?

Explanation:

To determine the best research question for studying the national impact of Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign on childhood obesity, we analyze each option:

• Option A asks about the annual change in childhood obesity rates during the campaign’s tenure. This directly relates to measuring the campaign’s national impact (change in obesity rates over time due to the campaign).
• Option B focuses on Michelle Obama’s personal actions, not the campaign’s national impact.
• Option C asks about resources for obese children to lose weight, which is not about the campaign’s overall national impact.
• Option D asks about why she started the campaign, not its impact.

Answer:

A. During the tenure of Michelle Obama’s "Let’s Move" campaign, how did childhood obesity rates change from year to year?
