Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sedentary activities, such as watching television and using computers, have become increasingly popular and prevalent in recent years. This shift away from outdoor play and physical activity has contributed to the trend of increasing rates of overweight and obesity in the U.S. Passive exercise with machines, as mentioned in answer choice D, is not a significant factor in weight trends compared to the overall decrease in physical activity. Answer choice A is inaccurate, as physical activity levels have not dramatically increased, and answer choice B is too narrow and doesn't address the larger trend.
