We need to look for parallel structures.

Studies indicate that many people become obese more because of X than because of Y.

The only answer choice that helps establish such a structure is D

Hope that helps!
PS: I think there's a typo in options C and D. It should read 'burn' and not 'bum'! Of course, it would great if we could just sit on calories and 'bum' them away but alas, life is not a fairytale! :-)
