Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The set point is the weight range in which the body comfortably maintains on its own through homeostatic mechanisms. It is a stable weight that is difficult to change without significant effort, such as diet and exercise, and can vary among individuals. Therefore, option B, set point, is the correct answer. Option A, homeostatic weight, is not a commonly used term and is not supported by research. Option C, ventromedial weight, refers to a specific area of the brain involved in regulating hunger and satiety, and is not a term used to describe an individual's weight. Option D, optimal weight, is subjective and varies depending on one's goals or preferences, and is not a term used to describe a stable weight.
