B.

20-25

C.

D.

31-35

Correct option is B


Sol. The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure that uses height and weight to estimate body fat. For adults, a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered normal or healthy weight. Therefore, option (b) 20-25 falls within this range. ​
Explanation of each option:
· (a) 15-19 – This range indicates underweight, as it is below the normal BMI range. Individuals with a BMI in this category may be at risk for nutritional deficiencies and other health issues.​
· (b) 20-25 – Correct answer. This range falls within the normal or healthy weight category, associated with a lower risk of chronic diseases.​
· (c) 26-30 – This range is considered overweight, as it exceeds the upper limit of the normal BMI range. Being overweight can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases and other health problems.​
· (d) 31-35 – This range falls into the obese category, indicating a higher risk for health issues. Obesity is linked to conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease.​
