Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The subject of this research is dissatisfaction with body image, as the participants are being asked to identify with a figure within a range of body sizes. This suggests that the researchers are interested in how individuals perceive and feel about their own bodies, potentially leading to insights on body image dissatisfaction. A and D are less likely options, as body-size delusional systems and punishment on eating behavior are not directly being studied or measured in this task. B is also unlikely, as deficits in sensory perception are not directly relevant to the task at hand.
