Solution

Para responder a esta pregunta, primero debemos entender las características de cada una de las opciones proporcionadas:

  1. Anorexia: Es un trastorno alimentario caracterizado por la restricción extrema de la ingesta de alimentos, lo que lleva a un peso corporal significativamente bajo. Las personas con anorexia suelen tener un miedo intenso a ganar peso y una percepción distorsionada de su cuerpo.

  2. Bulimia: Es otro trastorno alimentario en el que las personas tienen episodios de ingesta excesiva de alimentos seguidos de comportamientos compensatorios como el vómito autoinducido, el uso excesivo de laxantes o el ejercicio excesivo.

  3. High metabolism: Se refiere a un metabolismo rápido, lo que significa que el cuerpo quema calorías a un ritmo más rápido de lo normal. Esto no es un trastorno alimentario y no implica necesariamente una restricción extrema de alimentos o ejercicio excesivo.

  4. Prader-Willi syndrome: Es un trastorno genético que causa una serie de problemas físicos, mentales y de comportamiento. Una característica común es un apetito insaciable que lleva a la obesidad, no a un peso corporal bajo.

Dado que Mercy mantiene su peso corporal muy por debajo de lo saludable a través de la inanición y el ejercicio constante, esto sugiere un comportamiento característico de la anorexia.

Por lo tanto, la respuesta correcta es: anorexia.
