Which trend is associated with a rise in obesity due to reduced activity and poor diet?

• A. Inclusion
• B. Lifelong fitness
• C. Increase in obesity
• D. Student-centered activities

Answer: (C)

When activity levels decline and dietary quality worsens, energy balance shifts toward storing more energy as fat. That positive energy balance leads to weight gain and a rise in obesity rates. So the trend described is an increase in obesity, which directly reflects the impact of being less active and eating poorer diets. The other options describe educational approaches or goals rather than a population health trend linked to activity and nutrition.
