Solution
The correct answer is b. if only W and Y are correct.
Here's why:
W. Obesity is protective against the development of osteoporosis. - This is correct. Obesity can be protective against osteoporosis because the extra body weight can put stress on the bones, making them stronger.
X. It is a disease characterized by reduced bone mass, often due to increased estrogen exposure. - This is incorrect. Osteoporosis is indeed characterized by reduced bone mass, but it's often due to decreased, not increased, estrogen levels.
Y. Increased weight-bearing activity will likely delay the development of osteoporosis. - This is correct. Weight-bearing exercises, such as walking or weight lifting, can help build bone density and delay the onset of osteoporosis.
Z. Post-menopausal osteoporosis can occur in men. - This is incorrect. Post-menopausal osteoporosis is a condition that affects women after menopause due to a drop in estrogen levels. Men can develop osteoporosis, but it's not referred to as post-menopausal osteoporosis.
