Solution

The correct option is A public health campaigns that raise consciousness and propose lifestyle changes are a productive way to fight obesity.
The support for this choice is in the last sentence, which states that major public campaigns that increase awareness and propose lifestyle changes are important in our fight against obesity. Choice b can be rule out because although the paragraph states that obesity can lead to diabetes, it doesn't tell us that it is the leading cause of this disease. Choices c and e might sound reasonable and true, but they are not supported in the paragraph. And although we are told that obesity has been connected to asthma, this fact is not quantified in any way, so choice d is also not supported by the information given.
