All of the following factors play a role in determining a person’s weight:

Answer 11

I apologize for any confusion. When considering the factors that play a role in determining a person's weight, the correct selections are:

• heredity
• activity level
• body composition

Body mass index (BMI) is a measurement derived from weight and height, and while it can indicate weight status, it does not directly affect a person's weight.

So, the correct selections are heredity, activity level, and body composition. Thank you for your patience!
