Answer:
c) Set reasonable long term and short term goals and reward himself for meeting them.
Explanation:
The reward circuit in our Limbic system of cerebrum is very powerful and yielding. Given the proper impetus to it, it makes us do stuff which we would definitely not do otherwise. Marlon does not like maintaining diets and working out. But he loves something else a lot.
So , if he decides that he will do something he really likes after workout and dieting as a reward for his hard work, his brain will automatically want to get the job done looking forward to the reward afterwards.
The test is known as chronic villius sampling.
Chronic villius sampling is carried out to determine whether the developing baby has any genetic abnormalities such as Down's syndrome and many others. Usually, chronic villius sampling is carried out in women that are likely to have children with genetic disorders. The test helps the parents and doctors get a better understanding of the complications that may occur with the child, and the necessary steps that will have to be taken to bring up a child with the diagnosed disorder.
