Answer
A
Dehydration
B
Obesity
C
Dental problems
D
Nosebleeds

Repeated vomiting or laxative use can cause loss of fluids, leading to dehydration. Stomach acid from frequent vomiting can also wear away tooth enamel and cause dental problems. Obesity and nosebleeds are not typical expected symptoms of bulimia.
