Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
Abuse of diet soft-drinks is not an example of purging behavior. Purging behaviors involve methods to eliminate or rid the body of calories after overeating, such as self-induced vomiting, laxative abuse, abuse of diuretics, and abuse of enemas. Diet soft-drinks do not have a direct effect on calorie elimination in the body.
