The basal metabolic rate (BMR) is best defined as:

**b the number of calories the body uses at rest.**

BMR represents the amount of energy expended while at rest in a neutrally temperate environment, which is essential to maintain basic bodily functions such as breathing, circulation, and cellular production.
