I believe the answer is: B. an individual's height-weight ratio.

BMI is used to measure by Dividing your weight (in kilograms) with your height (in meters). But most fitness experts believe that using BMI to measure health is not the most accurate way because it does not put muscle and fat percentage into account.

Answer from: milkshakegrande101

Body mass index takes into account both weight and height. It does not measures the body fat directly.

Further Explanation:

Body Mass Index (BMI) reflects the ratio of person’s weight in kilograms to the square of height in meters. A high BMI of a person indicates that the person is having high fatness.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) puts weight into three categories and they are:

Normal weight Overweight Obesity

According to the studies done by the National Center for Health, the Statistics includes:

BMI values less than 18.5 kg/m² reflects that the individual is underweight. Overweight can be described as the body mass index of 25.0 to less than 30.0 kg/m². People having BMIs in this range possess increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Obesity is defined as a BMI of 30.0 kg/m² or greater. People with BMIs of 30 kg/m² or more possess high cardiovascular diseases risk. BMI values from 18.5 kg/m² to 24.9 kg/m² reflects that the individual is healthy. Some well-trained people possessing dense muscle mass have high BMI score but little body fat. Their BMI can be measured the waist circumference, the skinfold thickness or more direct.
