I'll be glad to check your answer.

This should be easy as we can't estimate using a scale. Rulers don't measure weights.

The U.S. government uses a metric called Body Mass Index (BMI) to estimate a person's body weight status. The correct answer is B. BMI is a calculation that takes into account a person's weight and height. It is calculated by dividing the individual's weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters. The resulting number is then categorized into different weight ranges, such as underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese. This provides a general indication of a person's body weight status and can be used as a screening tool for potential health risks associated with weight. Healthcare professionals often use BMI as a starting point to determine if further evaluation or intervention is required for an individual's weight-related health. The other options you mentioned, such as health-related illnesses, scale, and ruler, are not specifically used by the U.S. government for estimating body weight status.
