The correct answer is:

**RMR is higher.**

Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is generally higher than basal metabolic rate (BMR) because RMR takes into account the energy expended in a resting state, including factors such as digestion, while BMR is measured under more strict conditions (after a full night's sleep, in a fasted state, and in a thermal neutral environment).
