Answer:

The correct answer would be A. People with slow metabolisms have lower basal metabolic rates
.

Basal metabolism rate or BMR refers to the number of calories a person burns per unit time to perform vital functions when he or she is at rest.

Slow metabolism means that your body needs less amount of calories in order to perform vital functions.

It results in increased body weight due to less expenditure of calories.

It can be increased with the help of a healthy lifestyle that is, healthy eating, physical activity et cetera.
