Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Starvation occurs when caloric intake is insufficient to meet energy expenditure, forcing the body to use stored energy reserves. This negative energy balance leads to weight loss and metabolic changes. Options A, B, and D are incorrect - starvation is not about stomach fullness, food storage, or meeting energy needs (which would be adequate nutrition).
