What cognitive level is required to remember the associated risks of childhood obesity?

• A. Remember
• B. Understand
• C. Apply
• D. Analyze

Answer: (A)

Remembering factual information is what this item is assessing. In Bloom's taxonomy, the remember level means you can recall or recognize facts without needing to interpret or apply them. To remember the associated risks of childhood obesity, you must simply recall the listed risk factors from memory, such as family history, sedentary behavior, high-calorie diet, and socioeconomic influences. The reason this is the best choice is that the prompt asks for the cognitive level required to recall these risks, not to explain why they exist, apply them in practice, or analyze relationships. Understanding would require you to explain how the risks contribute, applying would require using the risks in a scenario, and analyzing would involve examining how factors interact and differ across groups.
