Explanation:

To determine which factors do not cause obesity, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Health conditions (e.g., hypothyroidism) and certain medications can lead to weight gain and obesity.
• Option B: Poor eating habits (excessive calorie intake) and lack of exercise are well - known causes of obesity.
• Option C: Hair and eye color are determined by genetics related to pigmentation and have no physiological connection to the mechanisms that cause obesity (such as energy balance, metabolism, or fat storage).
• Option D: Heredity can influence metabolic rate and body - type predispositions, and environment (e.g., access to unhealthy food, sedentary lifestyle in a community) can contribute to obesity.

So, hair and eye color do not cause obesity.
