The best comparison between body fat and lean muscle tissue is:
**A. High levels of body fat increase a person's risk for certain diseases.**
This statement is accurate, as excessive body fat is often associated with an increased risk of various health issues, including diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers.
**C. High levels of lean muscle tissue make a person's metabolism burn calories efficiently.** is also true, as muscle tissue is metabolically active and helps increase the resting metabolic rate, leading to more calories being burned.
However, the other two statements, **B** and **D**, are not accurate. High levels of body fat do not make metabolism work efficiently, and high levels of lean muscle tissue do not increase disease risk; in fact, they are usually associated with better health outcomes.
