Explanation
Answer: C - The law of thermodynamics is the concept that dictates that fat loss can only occur if the intake of calories (energy) is less than the amount of calories (energy) burned. There is no scientific fat burning zone, as is commonly believed, and weight can only be lost if the energy burned by the body’s work is less than what is ingested calorically through food and drink.
