Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jennifer has reached a weight-loss plateau, which means that she has achieved an energy equilibrium where her body is burning the same amount of calories that she is consuming. This is a common phenomenon in weight loss where the body adapts to the reduced calorie intake and reduces the metabolism, making it harder to lose weight. Jennifer may need to adjust her diet or exercise routine to overcome the plateau and continue losing weight. Option B is not necessarily true, and there is no evidence to support Option C or D.
