Obesity is caused by taking on more fuel than you can burn.
Type 1 Diabetes is NOT related to obesity, so any answer which contains “Type 1 Diabetes” is wrong.
Obesity is not directly related to muscle atrophy, but many obese people fail to get enough exercise, and thus their muscles do atrophy. E might be answer.
Decreased insulin production is caused by a failing pancreas. This is not caused by being obese. A is incorrect.
Obesity definitely causes Type 2 Diabetes, and is a majort\ contributor to cardiovascular diseases (hardening of the arteries, heart attacks, etc).
C is a better answer than E
