Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that most people show little variation in weight from year to year supports the idea that there is a natural body weight that the body tends to maintain. This suggests that the body has a set point that it strives to maintain despite changes in food intake or physical activity. Choices A and D are irrelevant to the concept of a set point, while choice B is not supported by research as hunger levels may vary depending on individual differences and daily routines.
