Answer:

<h2>Paul.</h2>

Explanation:

Paul would have the higher basal metabolic rate.

The basal metabolic rate is the rate expenditure of energy in a certain time while is in rest. Also, metabolism refers to all processes that allow a good functioning of the body, all chemical reactions and transformations that provides energy.

It's important to know that the metabolism has its own speed, some people could have a fast metabolism and other a slow metabolism, which refers to the speed of transforming the food in energy.

So, in this case, the young guy, Paul, is gonna have a higher basal metabolic rate, due to his age and his physical activities as a athlete, his body will just consume more energy at rest and during exercises.
