The answer doesn't make sense. Even the explanation.
My thinking:
Nbea +/+ (im just gonna say WT) is higher in body weight then Nbea +/- (mutant)
Question is asking: what is higher in the Mutant than the WT? Specifically "the rate of which process is most likely significantly higher in Mutant mice than in WT mice"

So how is it that Mutant mice have more adipose deposition (increase in fat = increase in body weight) but the graph says the opposite?

Both of the mice seem to have gained 2g. 2g when speaking of the +/- seems to be more significant than compared to 2g for the +/+ so i that regard it could be A?

It is clearly not B or D since that has nothing to really do with body weight, so you are left with A and C. For C if there was significantly higher beta oxidation the mice might lose weight as opposed to gaining weight. This question is a little weird haha. I am not so sure that AAMC would make such a weird question.
