Hyperplasia is a term related to obesity :
Answer: C
Hyperplasia means an increase in the number of adipose cells.
Body fat can grow in two ways. In hypertrophy the existing fat cells enlarge as they store more fat. In hyperplasia the number of fat cells increases, which happens mainly in childhood, adolescence and severe obesity, and makes later weight control harder because the extra cells remain.
An increase in size (option A) is hypertrophy. Decreases in size or number (B and D) describe what happens with fat loss, and the number of fat cells changes little once formed.
