EThe VMH (ventromedial hypothalamus) hyperphagia syndrome progresses through two distinct phases: the dynamic phase and the static phase. Initially, in the dynamic phase, there is a rapid onset of symptoms including hyperphagia (excessive eating). Following this, the condition transitions into the static phase, where the symptoms stabilize. Choices C and E correctly describe these phases, albeit in reverse order, reflecting the chronological sequence of the syndrome's progression.
