please select the best answer from the choices provided.
a

Explanation:

To compare muscular endurance between two people (you and your younger brother) using a 30 - pound barbell, the absolute method (using the same absolute weight) is appropriate. Maxing out (B) is for finding 1RM, prediction of 1 percent RM (C) and fixed percentage of 1 max RM (D) involve relative percentages or predictions, but for a direct comparison with a fixed weight, the absolute method is best.

Answer:

A. absolute method
