B) a decreased consumption of food.

Explanation: A) Lorcaserin is a selective serotonin 2c receptor (5-HT2C) that produces hypophagia through action on hypothalamic neurons, resulting in hypophagia, increased satiety, and decreased food consumption. Bupropion plus naltrexone, used in weight loss, may result in increased feelings of well-being. Lorcaserin leads to increased, not decreased, satiety.
B) Lorcaserin is a selective serotonin 2c receptor (5-HT2C) that produces hypophagia through action on hypothalamic neurons, resulting in hypophagia, increased satiety, and decreased food consumption and satiety. Bupropion plus naltrexone, used in weight loss, may result in increased feelings of well-being. Lorcaserin leads to increased, not decreased, satiety.
