the digestive system would safely regulate blood sugar levels.

a balance of energy would occur due to equal caloric input and output.

a buildup of cholesterol plaque would begin in the bloodstream.

cells would be able to perform normal cell function and maintenance.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Unhealthy eating and sedentary lifestyle disrupt blood sugar regulation, so this is incorrect.
• Option 2: Sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy eating lead to caloric excess (input > output), not balance, so incorrect.
• Option 3: Unhealthy diet (high in bad fats, sugars) and lack of exercise can lead to cholesterol plaque buildup in blood vessels, which is a known consequence.
• Option 4: Poor lifestyle impairs normal cell function, so this is incorrect.
