Answer»

The correct choice is (a) True

Best explanation: An obese person is the ONE whose body MASS INDEX is high and they are overweight. Obesity can cause a condition called sleep apnea in which a person SNORES due to trouble in breathing. Under anesthesia, a person may stop breathing at all for a few SECONDS which is dangerous for the patient.
