Answer;
Body composition is best described as the ratio of fat to other tissue in a body.

Explanation;
Body composition is the portion of fat and fat-free mass in the body. Lower percentage of body fat and a higher percentage of fat-free mass (muscles, bones and organs) indicates a healthy body composition.
