b. resting energy expenditure
c. thermic effect of food
d. negative energy balance

C. Thermic effect of food

Explanation:

Thermic Effect of Food (TEF) also known with other names such as Specific Dynamic Action (SDA) or Diet-Induced Thermogenesis (DIT) is the rate of metabolism, which means the rate of burning calories from the food ingested. When any food is ingested some energy is released to digest the food, absorb it or to store the nutrients. The percentage of thermic effect of food of the total food ingested is assumed to be 10% in adults.

Thermic Effect of Food (TEF) can be calculated by multiplying total amount of calories intake with 10%.
