Ans: C
Feedback:
Diagnostic criteria for anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are distinctly different. Anorexia nervosa is a form of starvation that causes complications that include low estrogen levels with osteoporosis and life-threatening electrolyte imbalances. Bulimia nervosa, unbalanced binge eating, also causes life-threatening electrolyte imbalances. The self-induced vomiting of bulimia causes acid-related periodontal disease and enlarged parotid glands.
