a person gains body fat but loses weight.
a person gains weight.
a person loses weight.
a person maintains weight.

Explanation:

When calorie intake exceeds calorie expenditure, the body stores the excess energy. This excess energy is typically stored as fat. Since fat contributes to body weight, a person will gain weight. Option A is incorrect because gaining body fat would lead to weight gain, not loss. Option C is incorrect as it contradicts the energy - storage principle. Option D is incorrect because there is an energy surplus, not a balance.

Answer:

B. A person gains weight.
