The correct answer is 1/3 D. Severe physical stress can increase your body’s need for protein. Infections, burns, fevers, and surgery all increase protein losses, and the diet must replace that lost protein. A severe infection can increase protein requirements by one-third. Severe burns can increase requirements two to four times. Less severe physical stressors, such as a viral illness with a mild fever lasting only a few days, rarely increase protein requirements. Muscle-building activities, such as intense weight training, increase protein needs much less than most people think. In fact, the typical U.S. diet supplies an ample amount of protein for most people, even for bodybuilders. Here is what the textbook says

LiRa [457]

This would be the equivalent of the Solar Neighborhood which consists of all stars within 15 light years of the Sun and that include mostly cool and small red dwarf stars. After that, we would be part of the Sagittarius Arm of the Milky Way and then in the Local Group of Galaxies that include the Magellanic Clouds and many more.
