A B C D

Answer 1

The answer that you're looking for is D.

Since Sandra is not moving for an entire week, she will gain more weight. She ate 2,000 calories, but only burned 1,200 calories. Even though she burned all those calories, the number of intake calories is still higher.

Hence, the answer to your questions is D.
