Answer 1

Answer:

D. The amount of critical comments family members made about the person's appearance.

Explanation:

The amount of critical comments from family members about a person’s appearance is a strong factor that might make a person to be preoccupied with their weight and body shape. The person may start having a sense of guilt because of the perceived flaws in their body appearance. The person starts developing poor self-esteem, and begins to develop signs of eating disorder, such as bulimia in an attempt to get a “perfect body appearance”.
