Gout is not an example of opportunistic infection. Opportunistic infections are generally found in the people with weak immune systems. Thus, the correct option is D.
Opportunistic infections (OIs) are the infections which occur more often in the people with weakened immune system than that of healthy people. People with weakened immune systems include those who are living with HIV- AIDS. Opportunistic infections are caused by a variety of pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites.
The three main characteristics of opportunist organisms are as follows: a. they are usually the organisms with low pathogenicity, b. they cause severe infections when the host's defense mechanisms are impaired, and c. they can behave as conventional pathogens but under the opportunistic conditions may cause atypical infections.
Opportunistic infections include pneumonia, salmonella infections, candidiasis, toxoplasmosis, and tuberculosis (TB).
Therefore, the correct option is D.

Answer:
The correct answer is a. maintaining a chronic positive energy balance
Explanation:
Our food contains calories which provide us energy. Each food type has a different amount of calories. Positive energy balance occurs when we take more calories than we burn.
If we take more calories than we burn for a long time than it will be accumulated in the body in the form of fat and will lead to weight gain and obesity. So maintaining a chronic positive energy balance can lead to obesity.
If we want to reduce the weight than calorie intake should be less than calorie expenditure.
