(i will give you brainliest) this map shows the countries that are part of the pacific rim. what do these countries have in common?
a) they are near the equator.
b) they are near the pacific ocean.
c) they are in the pacific time zone.
d) they are in the eastern hemisphere.

They all have coastlines on the Pacific Ocean (B). So as a group, they form a 'rim' around the Pacific ocean.  

Maybe this is part of the reason why they're called the "Pacific Rim" countries.

The answer is the set-point theory.

Explanation:

According to set-point theory, everyone is "programmed" with an ideal body weight in order to function properly. This also means that any weight-loss will result in a slower metabolism and increased energy expenditure, leading to more food consumption. Eventually, the body will go back to its ideal weight.
