it is the ability of muscles to generate maximal force as quickly as possible.
it is the maximum amount of resistance an individual is able to lift in a single effort.
it is the sum of all repetitions performed multiplied by resistances used during a strength - training session.
it is a training approach that divides a workout into three cycles using systematic variation in intensity and volume of training.

Explanation:

It measures muscle strength in terms of the heaviest load that can be lifted just once. The first option refers to muscle force - exertion in general, the second option is about power (force generation speed), the fourth option is about total training volume, and the fifth option describes a training approach.
