    • Decreased Basal Metabolic rate

    • Antidepressant Drugs

    • Psychological Health Problems

    • Depression

    Correct Answer
    A. Decreased Basal Metabolic rate
    Explanation
    Starvation leads to a decreased basal metabolic rate. When the body is deprived of food for an extended period, it goes into survival mode and conserves energy by slowing down its metabolic rate. This is a natural response to conserve energy and ensure the body's survival during periods of food scarcity. By reducing the basal metabolic rate, the body can use stored energy more efficiently and sustain itself for longer periods without food.
