Question

how does abstinence from sex benefit a persons physical health?
○ they can maintain their brains function.
○ they will not become ill because of an std.
○ they are able to engage in regular exercise.
○ they reduce the risk of having an accident.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• "They can maintain their brain's function": Sexual abstinence isn't directly linked to brain function maintenance.
• "They will not become ill because of an STD": Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are spread through sexual contact. Abstinence from sex eliminates the risk of contracting an STD from sexual activity, so this is a direct physical health benefit of abstinence.
• "They are able to engage in regular exercise": Abstinence from sex doesn't inherently enable regular exercise; exercise is a separate choice.
• "They reduce the risk of having an accident": Abstinence from sex has no direct relation to accident risk reduction.

Answer:

B. They will not become ill because of an STD.
