A is best.


MORE X THAN Y X ||Y
B,C,E -- are out ..

Whether X or Y is correct idiom.

In D. "and" is not proper. Its creating sentence fragmentation.
What about obesity "and"

Doesn't whether works like both.
I assume Option A should be like this to maintain the 11elism "obesity is Whether a bilogical disorder.. or <obesity is> a condition"
