The correct answer is B. Weight

Explanation:

A non-communicable disease is one that cannot be transmitted, and due to this, these are the result of genetics and lifestyle or environmental factors. Examples of these diseases include cancer, diabetes, heart diseases or Parkison disease. Moreover, the probability of developing these diseases is related to different risk factors; this includes controllable factors such as weight, diet or drinking habits, and uncontrollable factors such as gender, ethnicity or heredity.

According to this, the only factor that can be classified as a controllable risk factor is weight because, through diet, exercise, and habits individuals can keep a healthy weight, and this reduces the development of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes or heart diseases. Also, other factors such as age, gender or ethnicity cannot be controlled or modified.

According to a 2018 article written by Dr. Mark Stibich, suicide is the 2nd cause accounting for 18% of deaths among people age 15-24.

According to the CDC's 2007 statistics, homicide was the 2nd leading aide of death among people age 15-24.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health 2017 statistics, suicide was the second leading cause of death among individuals between the ages of 15 and 34.

According to the Population Reference Bureau (June 2016), suicides becsme the second cause of death among teenagers in the United States, surpassing homicide deaths.

I would say suicide is the answer, but it will depend on what year's statistics your class reference material is using.

Hope this helps! :)
