a

Explanation:

Balance exercises specifically target the ability to maintain stability and control of body position. For senior citizens, falls are a significant concern as they can lead to serious injuries. By improving balance through these exercises, the likelihood of losing one's footing and falling is reduced. Building muscle tissue (A) is more related to strength - training exercises. Overall endurance (C) is enhanced by aerobic exercises. Reducing "staying power" (D) is not a goal of balance exercises; in fact, better balance often improves the ability to stay in a position steadily.

Answer:

B. to reduce chances of falls
