Further Explanation:

Body is consists of protein, water, fat, and mineral. The body composition is classified into fat-free components and fat components. The total amount of body fat comprises of storage fat and essential fat. The fat that mainly collects in the adipose tissue is named as storage fat. The fat present in the bone marrow, spleen, lungs, heart, liver, kidneys, muscles, intestines and lipid–tissue present throughout the central nervous system are named as essential fat.

The weight of bones, tendons, ligaments, internal organs, and muscles is categorized as lean body mass. This does not contain any component of storage fat but can contain a small part of essential fat. The increase in fat content in the body can lead to heart disease, stroke, and obesity. The body composition does not include fat only, many other biomolecules together contribute to body composition. So, the extra fat can cause bone and joint disorder but it’s not the only factor that contributes to the body composition.

The correct option is A

Explanation:

Body composition is the percentage of fat and non-fat mass in the body. Since, the body composition includes both fat and non-fat mass of the body, it can be used to determine the overall weight of an individual when added together. The lean body mass is determined by the non-fat component of the body's composition. A couple of factors (including food choice and exercise) affect the body composition.

Too much body fat do not lead to joint or bone disorders as they do not affect the lean body mass (which includes non-fat components like proteins and minerals that are responsible for bone formation and repair) which could cause these disorders. However, too much body fats can cause diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, atherosclerosis and some types of cancer.
