Answer 1

Correct answer is 1. A doctor tells someone in a larger body that they need to lose weight before even considering the reason they came to the doctor's office in the first place. (Reason: It is an invalid statement, no physician recommends this. Anyone can approach doctors at anytime with any health conditions)

Reason for the omitting remaining options:

2. It is for seating arrangements and no bias observed in this statement.

3. This statement is from study. Hence, it should be unbiased statement.
