Answer
A
diet of high-fat foods
B
weight above baseline value
C
individual body type
D
exact body weight and body shape

Explanation

Genetics can influence traits such as bone structure, muscle distribution, and how the body stores fat, which contribute to an individual body type. Diet, including eating high-fat foods, is a behavior rather than an inherited trait. Genetics may affect body weight and shape, but they do not determine an exact weight or shape.
