Explanation:

Muscular strength is developed by lifting heavy weights with low - repetition sets. Maggie is lifting the most weight she can handle (heavy weight) with 7 repetitions (low number of repetitions) and 3 sets. Muscular endurance is typically associated with lighter weights and higher repetitions. Since she is using heavy weights and low repetitions, it is more about building muscular strength.

Answer:

B. Maggie would build muscular strength because she has chosen such a heavy weight.
