Answer:

C. He has a high risk of diabetes and kidney disease

Explanation:

Plugging in all these values into the BMI composition gives us:

BMI= 250 (72)² × 703= 33.9

looking at the BMI categories, shows us that any BMI that is 30+ is considered obese which Seth clearly is.

We can cross out a nonviable option of malnutrition as it's only commonly associated with weight loss. (still some cases linked with obesity)

He's not at a slight risk of weight-related diseases as he's obese so he's already at major risk
