Answer

Answer:

C. Over 50% of the reporting adults are living with risk factors that can be controlled through diet and exercise.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Option A

The bar for obesity is about 35% and for high - blood pressure is about 30%. But we can't simply add them as there may be overlap. So this option is incorrect.

Step2: Analyze Option B

The chart doesn't show a relationship between diabetes and high cholesterol as a cause. So this option is incorrect.

Step3: Analyze Option C

Inactive lifestyle (about 40%), obesity (about 35%), high - blood pressure (about 30%) can be controlled by diet and exercise. (40 + 35+30=105) (but considering overlap, still over 50% when looking at individual contributions). So this option is correct.

Step4: Analyze Option D

The bar for inactive lifestyle is 40% (approximate) of adults having the risk factor, not a 38% chance of getting heart disease. So this option is incorrect.
