All of the following are causes of obesity EXCEPT:
A
genetic predisposition
B
people who have friends that are obese are more likely to be obese
C
sedentary lifestyle
D
high levels of leptin make it so one is unable to feel full
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Since the amount of leptin in your blood is directly proportional to the amount of adipose tissue (body fat), having obesity results in high levels of leptin (hyperleptinemia). This can cause a lack of sensitivity to leptin, a condition known as leptin resistance.

Detailed explanation-2: -Many factors can contribute to excess weight gain including eating patterns, physical activity levels, and sleep routines. Social determinants of health, genetics, and taking certain medications also play a role.

Detailed explanation-3: -Leptin sends a signal to your brain that helps you feel full and less interested in food. You may hear it called a satiety hormone. (Satiety means hunger feels satisfied). It also plays a role in how your body turns fat into energy.
