Solution

The correct option is B Chronic energy deficiency
The nutritional status of adults is measured with the help of the body mass index or BMI. If the BMI of a person reduces to less than 18.5, then he/she is considered to be suffering from chronic energy deficiency. Similarly, people whose score crosses 25 are considered overweight or suffering from obesity.
