Which of the following is the least likely way that peer groups influence a person's body image?
A. providing a forum to gossip about others
B. providing a standard to compare oneself against
C. providing exposure to new foods
D. providing a group with which to exercise

The least likely way that peer groups influence body image is by providing exposure to new foods, as it does not have a direct psychological effect like comparisons or support groups. In contrast, gossiping, social standards, and exercise significantly shape how individuals perceive their bodies. Thus, food exposure is less impactful on body image compared to the other options. ;

The least likely way that peer groups influence body image is by providing exposure to new foods (option C), as this does not directly impact self-perception. Options involving gossip, social standards, and group exercise have much more significant psychological effects on body image. Therefore, the focus on food alone does not have the same influence as the other options.
