Answer 2

The basal metabolic rate measures the rate at which a person's body burns food and nutrient at rest. (Option c)

• The Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is defined as the rate of energy expenditure (per unit time) by an individual at the state of rest.
• In other words, the basal metabolic rate is the amount of calories burnt by the body while it is at rest.
• It is also termed as Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) or Resting Energy Expenditure (REE).
