Explanation:

The essay is about childhood obesity and its effects (high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol). Body Paragraph 3's topic sentence should continue the pattern of explaining an effect of childhood obesity. The first option ("Thirdly, childhood obesity can cause high cholesterol") aligns with the thesis and the structure of previous body paragraphs (first: high blood pressure, second: likely diabetes, third: high cholesterol). The other options are off - topic (second about harmful materials, third about endangered animals).

Answer:

Thirdly, childhood obesity can cause high cholesterol.
