A
hunger occurs
B
fats cells grow
C

D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Leptin has a more profound effect when you lose weight. As your body fat (adipose tissue) decreases, your leptin levels decrease, which signals your body to think that it’s starving. This stimulates intense hunger and appetite and can lead to increased food consumption.

Detailed explanation-2: -Leptin is a hormone, made by fat cells, that decreases your appetite. Ghrelin is a hormone that increases appetite, and also plays a role in body weight. Levels of leptin–the appetite suppressor–are lower when you’re thin and higher when you’re fat.

Detailed explanation-3: -Leptin levels decline during weight loss and signal to the hypothalamus to stimulate feeding, reduce energy expenditure, and promote weight regain.
