The answer is 3.) More and more desk jobs are causing more people to be less active during the day. Less active means slower metabolism which can lead to obesity.

Hope this helps :)

The correct answer is 3. More computer work at desks

Step-by-step explanation:

The term "obesogenic" refers to substances or conditions that lead to excessive weight gain or obesity, which is one of the major issues in health nowadays. In terms of professions, this has become obesogenic mainly because in comparison to past centuries nowadays most jobs imply being sat down almost all workday in front of a computer which means jobs promote sedentarism rather than any physical activity that can contribute to a healthy weigh. On the opposite, in past decades and centuries when computes had not been invented works imply more physical activity and most were not desk jobs. Therefore, the one that identifies the way professions have become obesogenic is that there is more computer work at desks.
