Explanation:

To determine the best realistic goal for mental and emotional health, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Doing something fun daily is good but not the most direct for mental/emotional health maintenance.
• Option B: Making friends with similar interests is social, not directly mental/emotional health - focused.
• Option C: Regular exercise and nutritious food are key lifestyle factors that positively impact mental and emotional health (e.g., exercise releases endorphins, nutrition supports brain function). This is a realistic and health - promoting goal.
• Option D: Sticking to a goal “no matter what” is unrealistic and can cause stress, which is bad for mental/emotional health.

Answer:

C. get regular exercise and eat nutritious food
