A Correct answer
Explanation

Obese specifically means excessively overweight, often to the point of being a health risk. The context of sedentary lifestyle (lack of physical activity) directly links to weight gain, making 'overweight' the perfect contextual match. Options like 'rude', 'downright', or 'frank' describe personality traits, not physical conditions.
