Solution

The correct option is D calculating body mass index of adults

Body Mass Index (BMI) is measured using weight (in kilograms) divided by height (in metres, squared). It reflects body fat stores and is an important way of classifying subjects into weight categories, which correlate with risks. BMI is used to classify adults into a number of weight categories.
