Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The person is usually placed in a dimly lit and thermoneutral environment (not too hot or cold) to minimize any effects of light or temperature on metabolism. Therefore, "The person is in a brightly lit room with a cool temperature" is not true of the conditions used to measure basal metabolic rate.
