Correct answer: C — Recommend structured weight loss; consider GLP-1 RA and bariatric surgery if indicated

Weight reduction via lifestyle, anti-obesity pharmacotherapy (GLP-1 RA), and metabolic surgery in eligible patients improves glycaemia and CV risk. Insulin-induced weight gain is not a strategy; avoiding exercise is harmful; HCG is not recommended.
