Answer 1

Answer:

C. MRI

Explanation:

Body composition of an individual can be gotten using a hydrostatic weighing method, the skin caliper test method or the Body Mass Index method. However, to get a more accurate percentage body fat and where the body fat is stored, the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is needed. This medical imaging technique generates images of the anatomy and physiological processes of the body using radiology. This makes it possible to give more accurate body fat percentage showing the exact place where the body fat is stored.
