Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "optimum" or "ideal weight" refers to the weight at which an organism has reached a balance between the amount of food consumed and the amount of energy needed. This weight can vary from person to person depending on various factors like height, age, body composition, and lifestyle habits. So, option B is the best choice as it reflects the concept of balance between caloric intake and energy expenditure. Option D, "caloric-energy balance" is also related to the same concept, but it is a bit technical and specific.
