B
It is stored around internal organs in the abdominal cavity.

Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the definition of visceral fat: Visceral fat is a type of body fat stored within the abdominal cavity and surrounds internal organs such as the liver, pancreas, and intestines.
Review the characteristics of visceral fat: It is known to secrete hormones that influence inflammation, and it is associated with an increased risk of metabolic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular conditions.
Contrast visceral fat with subcutaneous fat: Subcutaneous fat is the fat stored just beneath the skin, which is different from visceral fat. This distinction is key to identifying the correct answer.
Analyze the options provided: The first three options describe characteristics of visceral fat, while the last option ('It is primarily found just beneath the skin') describes subcutaneous fat, not visceral fat.
Conclude that the correct answer is the characteristic that does NOT apply to visceral fat, which is 'It is primarily found just beneath the skin.'
