c. exercising one hour before eating is best.
d. remaining well - hydrated while exercising is best.

please select the best answer from the choices provided.

a
b
c
d

Explanation:

• Option A: In hot weather, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. is when the sun is strongest and temperatures are highest, so exercising then is unsafe due to heat - related risks like heatstroke.
• Option B: Exercising at 100% of maximum heart rate is extremely strenuous and can put excessive stress on the heart, leading to cardiovascular issues, so it's not safe.
• Option C: Exercising one hour before eating may not be the best as the body needs energy for exercise, and the timing of eating relative to exercise depends on various factors, but more importantly, this is not a key safety consideration compared to hydration.
• Option D: When exercising, the body loses water through sweat. Remaining well - hydrated helps maintain normal bodily functions, prevents dehydration, heat - related illnesses, and supports optimal performance, so this is a correct safety consideration.

Answer:

D. Remaining well - hydrated while exercising is best.
