The correct answer is C. Prevention of eating disorders involves weighing often.
Explanation:
Eating disorders include multiple disorders that involve unhealthy eating habits as well as thoughts and emotions related to them. Individuals who suffer from these disorders constantly worry about their weight and appearance or have an unhealthy relationship with food, for example, individuals with anorexia or bulimia tend to believe they are "fat" even if they had low weight.
Due to this, weighing often is not a way of preventing eating disorders as this behavior just supports an unhealthy obsession with weight and appearance that can lead to eating disorders, instead, a balanced diet should be promoted and risk factors such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, etc should be addressed. Thus, the false statement is "Prevention of eating disorders involves weighing often".
