Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that individuals who store excess body fat in the abdomen, also known as visceral fat, are at increased risk for chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain forms of cancer.

Therefore, choosing option C as the best choice.
