Option B undermines the argument by pointing out that obesity is mostly a lifestyle problem and not a disease. Compared to 40 years ago, people today spend more time commuting, sitting in front of a computer, watching television, playing video games, and generally exercising less, and end up burning fewer calories. Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
